They may look cute now but don’t mess with these two in a few years time.

Two rare Amur leopard cubs are new arrivals at Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Smarden, born to parents Hogar and Xizi.

Amur leopards are the rarest of the big cats with fewer than 35 in the wild and about 100 within the European endangered species breeding programme.

Hogar is a first time father but Xizi is an old hand – in 2008 she gave birth to Argun and Anuy.

Rebecca Porter, head keeper at WHF, said: “Being able to watch the two cubs being born on CCTV was an amazing experience.”
