вЂњ The cubs all interact really well together, and we have been able to see their range of different personalities come out, which has been brilliant. The cubs love to have fun destroying things, and all types enrichment вЂ“ boxes, paper bags or even trees in the reserve вЂ“ are regularly chewed and ripped apart as part of their play. Kate Atkinson, Senior Carnivore Keeper, said, вЂњAll of the cubs have grown in confidence over the past year and itвЂ™s been great to observe them as they mature and develop. Even the adult lions couldnвЂ™t resist joining in the fun, rolling around with the cubs and showing age is just a number! As soon as the cubs left their sleeping quarters, they were instantly drawn to the mysterious parcels and spent the morning feasting, playing and having a вЂroar-someвЂ™ time together. To celebrate the occasion, keepers created a range of giant eye-catching, animal themed gift boxes, which were filled with tasty treats and placed inside the lion reserve.

The youngsters, born on 27 August and 17 September 2019, have been a popular sight at the Worcestershire attraction over the last year and although are still referred to as вЂcubsвЂ™ by their team of keepers, they are more like adventurous teens. Staff at West Midland Safari Park have thrown a big, вЂking-of-the-jungle-sizedвЂ™ birthday party for their seven lion cubs, who are all celebrating their first birthday this year.
