There are some special new arrivals in Fota Wildlife Park.

3 endangered Asiatic lion cubs were born a month ago today.

Fota Wildlife Park is asking for the publics help to pick names for the 3 male cubs on its website.

Lead ranger Julien Fonteneau, "Arya and Yali’s cubs are not just vital to our breeding programme but also to the global efforts in preserving the Asiatic lion population. In a first for Fota Wildlife Park, Yali was present at the birth of his three cubs, normally the male lions would not attend the birth of their young.  One of our team members here quipped that Yali is a very modern father!"
