Feeding time at the Jungle Exotica, Skegness, for these two lion cubs born to Sheba and Leo on a farm at Stotby, near Lincoln, on 8 August.

Sheba, had four cubs but was not coping very ,well with them so two were taken to the zoo at Skegness to be bottle-fed every few hours.

Seen here giving them their milk are Tracey (left) and Yvonne, daughters of the owner, Mr Royston Clarke, of 22 Lumley Avenue, Skegness.

Another breeding success for Mr Clarke; after four years a red tailed racer snake from Taiwan, has laid six eggs and is curling herself round them to hatch, them. The parents, both over six feet long, are on show for the first time, at the zoo.
