Leopard cubs caught on film for the first time

Two rare Amur leopard cubs born in the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie have been caught on camera for the first time.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland announced in July that its Amur leopard Arina had given birth, but the number of cubs has not been known as human presence is kept to a minimum.

Motion sensitive cameras have now shown two cubs emerging from their den deep within undergrowth. It is hoped at least one of them could be released into the wild in Russia in the future.
