A pair of adorable lion cubs have been born at a Kent wildlife park.

Bosses at Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve, near Hythe, say the two are doing well and looking strong.

Visitors can see the energetic cubs, born to mum Oudrika and dad Hunter, as they are now venturing into their huge eight-acre enclosure, the largest of its kind in Europe.

Port Lympne’s animal director Simon Jeffery said the team is thrilled with the new arrivals.

“Both cubs are doing well, looking strong,” he said.

“We can’t wait for the public to meet our two new additions.”

The cubs’ parents and their three sisters can also be seen in the enclosure.

Other recent arrivals include a feisty giraffe named Karamojo and a fossa - the largest mammalian carnivore found natively on Madagascar - called Makira.

The new critically endangered Sumatran orangutans, Hadjah and Malou, are also in an enclosure at the park as well as South American maned wolves, Pablo and Snoop.

Another arrival includes a baby joey at the Wallaby Walk. Guests can also meet the tiny baby Javan gibbon, Sunda, the baby De Brazza monkey Bello, or take a trip to the Palace of the Apes to spot the youngest of the gorilla family: baby Kafele.

Port Lympne has become a celebrity hotspot in recent years and welcomed another famous face last month.

Alison Hammond – who recently became the presenter of Paul O’Grady’s For the Love of Dogs – enjoyed an overnight stay at the wildlife park’s lion lodge.

Visiting with her boyfriend, she says she had a “dream” day.
