This film shows the moment three adorable lion cubs took their first steps outside. The three rare Asiatic lion cubs, born at London Zoo in March, spent their eight first weeks snug in their indoor dens. Venturing outside, at first they looked to mum Arya for reassurance but were soon skipping around, chasing each other and playing with mum's tail.

'Over the moon!' - adorable lion cubs born at London Zoo

Staff are "over the moon" after these three endangered lion cubs were born at London Zoo. Born to seven-year-old mum, Arya, and dad Bhanu, 14, the litter of Asiatic lion cubs arrived at the Regent's Park attraction on March 13. With a wild population of only 600 to 700, they may be vital to the survival of the species - and they are adorable. London Zoo’s head big cat keeper Kathryn Sanders said: “Arya is proving to be a doting mum to her three cubs, and we’ve been able to observe some heartwarming moments via our hidden cubcam - from their first feed to their first steps.”
