The Port Lympne pride welcomed 3 lion cubs

We are delighted to announce that on 13th January 2021 Oudrika, lioness of the Port Lympne pride, has given birth to three lion cubs.

To ensure that you can enjoy the cubs’ earliest days, we have installed THREE new live-streaming cameras in the pride’s indoor dens. Tier 4 restrictions and the national lockdown have forced us to close our gates, so we are bringing the Reserve to you!

These livestreams will run 24/7 on our YouTube channel. You can show your support for the pride and the whole Port Lympne team during these challenging times by adopting the cubs, sending a virtual care package or by making a donation via our Animal Support Fund page.

Oudrika

Oudrika is five years old and was born at Boras zoo in Sweden. She's a first-time mum who's doing an amazing job raising the cubs alongside Adras.

Adras

Adras was born here at Port Lympne Reserve to mother Saffiya and father Suliman 16 years ago. He is a Barbary lion, a subspecies which is tragically extinct in the wild.
