Rare North African lion cubs play in the sun

A quartet of 12-week-old North African lion cubs were spotted playing in the spring sunshine at Whipsnade Zoo in England in a video released on April 15.

Classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, North African lions, Whipsnade say, are declining.

Since becoming home to lionesses Waka and Winta and lion Malik in 2023 and with the new arrivals, the zoo now has a pride of ten North African lions.
