Mother Dominika gave birth to the cubs in May, in one of three dens built away from public view in the tigers' enclosure.

And while mum allowed her offspring to explore their new surroundings, she made sure she gave them a maternal lick from time to time.

Dominika, along with male tiger Marty, arrived at the park last year from a zoo in the Czech Republic.

Dominika is one of three rare Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, who were born at the park four years ago. Her siblings are now at other wildlife parks.
