 | | | Not one, but five lion cubs!  | | We're excited to share that five rare Northern African lion cubs have been born at Whipsnade Zoo, as part of the international conservation breeding programme.
Born to five-year-old lioness Waka and four-year-old dad Malik, the five tiny cubs arrived late on the evening of Tuesday 23 June, bringing the pride’s total to 11 – the largest it has ever been.
Waka and her cubs will be staying indoors for now, but you can see the very first images of the cubs and read all about them! |

 | Spotted! Our cheetah cubs step outside  | The wait is over! Whipsnade Zoo's seven cheetah cubs have made their public debut, exploring outside for the very first time.
Footage taken by their devoted keepers shows the cubs putting their famous speed skills to use! These playful youngsters are also an important milestone for conservation, playing a vital role in the breeding programme for their endangered sub species; the northeastern cheetah. |
