Six-week-old Amur tiger cubs begin to explore their enclosure at Banham Zoo in Norfolk. Born to mother Mishka, the cubs are a legacy to their father Kuzma, who was the zoo's resident male Amur tiger and died in March aged 14, just weeks before the cubs arrival. Amur tigers are the largest of the world's big cats as well as the heaviest, with only around 500 left in the wild.

The two cubs are growing in strength and confidence, having survived the "incredibly risky" first eight weeks of life.
