Four new lion cubs have made their public debut at Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling.
Twelve-week-old cubs Murray, Reid, Thistle and Isla have been introduced to the drive-through reserve, meaning visitors can now see the youngsters for the first time.
The cubs were given their last inoculations and a final health check by park vet Patrick Day before being let loose on the rest of the pride.
Animal collection manager Sheila Walker said the cubs are playful and fearless.
“They love to chase the tails of the other adults,” she said. “I think the lion keeper is going to have a job keeping an eye on them all and keeping them out of mischief.
“We’ve had no problems so far as Karis has been a brilliant first-time mum.”
