Three endangered tiger cubs have been born at a zoo in Norfolk, just weeks after their father died.
Banham Zoo welcomed three Amur tiger cubs after mum, Mishka, gave birth on Monday, May 3.
The cubs' father, Kuzma, who died in March this year, was Mishka's long-term mate.
Amur tigers are classed as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting, with only around 500 thought to be left in the wild.

Graeme Williamson, head of living collection at The Zoological Society of East Anglia, said: "All three tiger cubs at Banham Zoo appear to be very healthy.
"Mum Mishka has been very attentive throughout her labour, cleaning and licking her cubs within the privacy of her cubbing den in the house."

The zoo has announced it will confirm the cubs' sexes and reveal their names in the coming months.
To ensure that the tigers can enjoy a peaceful first few weeks together, the zoo has asked visitors to take care when around the enclosure.
On Thursday, May 11, the zoo will install a new viewing area where the public will get the opportunity to view the cubs.
