Santa meets white lion cubs at West Midlands Safari Park

Nov 26 2009 by Catherine Lillington, Birmingham Mail

SANTA Claus and his little helpers are used to handling little packages, they just don’t normally come with sharp teeth.

But the new arrivals at West Midland Safari Park were on their best behaviour as they posed for this snap.

The five white lion cubs were born at the Bewdley park eight weeks ago to mum Maryn.

The one female and four males – called Lucy, Oscar, Edgar, Casper and Harper – will remain in the nursery for a few more weeks. Father Christmas and his reindeer will be around from this Tuesday until Christmas Eve for the attraction’s annual Santa Safari.
