Rare Amur tiger cubs' personalities appearing

Tongues out for the camera

Four rare Amur tiger cubs born a month ago have opened their eyes allowing their "cheeky" personalities to shine through.

Keepers at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire said the cubs were doing well and mother Yana was able to leave them for short times.

Carnivore keeper Kayleigh Smith said: "It is really lovely to see their personalities starting to come through; we’ve identified one which is an explorer who took their first steps early and was the first to climb over mum.”

The Amur tiger is one of the most endangered animals in the world with only about 450 left in the wild.

“Over the next couple of weeks, they will start to try solid food rather than just having Yana’s milk and will have their first vaccinations at eight weeks," Ms Smith added.

What mischief shall I cause today?

Bath time

But Mum, I don't want to stop playing

Smile for the camera everyone

No, that's my milk!
