Asiatic lion: Three endangered lion cubs born at London Zoo

Three rare Asiatic lion cubs have been born at London Zoo.

The species is considered endangered as they can now only be found living in the wild in India's Gir Forest.

The new arrivals are a huge boost for conservation efforts, as there are thought to be between 600 to 700 Asiatic lions remaining in the wild.

The Zoo added that the three newborns are yet to be named and keepers will be able to find out the gender of the cubs after their first vet check, when they are 10 to 11 weeks old.
