These four rare Amur tiger cubs have been born at a British safari park as part of an international breeding programme to save the endangered species.
The week-old cubs equate to over 25 per cent of births of the species across Europe in the previous two years.
Their safe arrival also means that Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire now has the biggest collection of Amur tigers in the UK.
It is thought that there are only 450 Amur or Siberian tigers left in the wild in north east Russia and Monglia having been hunted to the brink of extinction.
The new-born cubs are being nurtured by mum Yana.
