Staff at an animal sanctuary are overjoyed at a striking new arrival.
A female jaguar cub has been born at Smarden Big Cat Sanctuary near Ashford.
The Big Cat Sanctuary welcomes a rare new addition
The cub, born to Neron and Keira – part of the sanctuary's breeding programme, is known as a melanistic jaguar, a rare type with black fur.
The little bundle of joy is being nicknamed Baby and will be named through a public competition later and viewable to the public in August.
Baby is a third generation jaguar at the sanctuary, with her grandparents also in an enclosure there.
