Two newborn Barbary lion cubs recently took their first steps around their delivery box at a Czech zoo.
One male and one female lion were born in July at the safari park, but visitors will have to wait a little longer to see them in person.

The baby lions are a welcome addition to the pride at the zoo, especially because their species is nearly extinct.
Zookeepers say the cubs will stay there for up to two years before being sent elsewhere.
