'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.”

This is the SHOCKING moment a woman disappeared into a vehicle inspection pit - while looking at her car following an MOT 😱 MOT centre owner Shaqib said: "She was there to get her car fixed. She was looking for one of my colleagues to have a word. The tumble happened so suddenly that she wasn't entirely sure what happened - despite apparently being swallowed by the earth. She knows all of the staff well and she just wanted to chat. The whole thing happened so randomly I don't think she even realised what had happened." Saqib says all involved took what happened with humour - and the woman had only minor bruises. He said: "She was hurt but she only had some minor bruises. It was just a funny thing. We were all laughing about it."

Thies heartwarming video captured a real life 'Bambi on ice' moment. During recent sub-zero temperatures in the UK, a muntjac deer was captured slip sliding her way across a frozen brook. In the clip, the female deer edges into view from the undergrowth before her legs skew apart as she reaches clear ice - in scenes reminiscent of the Disney classic Bambi. Clearly determined, she struggles to regain her footing but safely propels herself to the other side... without any help from Thumper! Full story here: https://trib.al/TxGEVo9

London Zoo has welcomed its latest adorable addition - a baby western lowland gorilla. Gorilla keepers carrying out their morning duties yesterday (Wednesday, January 17) spotted mum Mjukuu was in labour and monitored her via CCTV. Just 17 minutes later at 9.34am, Mjukuu could be seen cradling and her newborn - whose sex has not yet been determined - before allowing the troop’s curious youngsters Alika and Gernot to examine the intriguing new arrival. The birth of a western lowland gorilla at London Zoo is a real cause for celebration – the subspecies is critically endangered as a result of poaching and disease. London Zoo’s primates section manager Kathryn Sanders said: “To say we’re happy about this new arrival would be a huge understatement – we’ve all been walking around grinning from ear to ear."

A sad moment every year 😥

RIP Derek Draper 🙏
