Adorable lion cubs born in Czech zoo
Jumping, playing and pouncing
these three tiny Barbary lion cubs
have brought joy to a Czech zoo
Location: Dvůr Králové nad Labem
The female babies were born two months ago
but have only just been introduced to the public
They are a welcome addition
to Safari Park Dvur Kralove's lion pride
which greeted two other cubs last year
Barbary lions once inhabited the Atlas Mountains
but have been considered extinct
in the wild for decades

The last known Barbary lion was shot
in Morocco in 1942
and there are around 90 left in captivity
