Four rare Barbary lion cubs born at Czech zoo

Lion that once roamed northern Africa has been extinct in the wild since 1960s

Four Barbary lion cubs were born recently in a Czech zoo, a vital contribution for the small surviving population of a rare lion that is extinct in the wild.

The three females and one male were seen playing in their outdoor enclosure at Dvr Kralove safari park on Wednesday under the watchful eye of their parents, Khalila and Bart.
