    I don't believe any cubs have been born since 2013/2014

    I didn't realise Sweet Pea had any cubs? There was definitely never any announcement about that. I know Malaika had cubs

    Also coming of the topic of the lions I know it is probably fat chance it will happen but do you think longleat would get a new pair of young Canadian timber wolves and they could temporarily live where the three brothers lived after the European wolves moved into the drive through and once django and eliska come into their twilight years they could move there

    RIP Buster and the park’s only bull sea lion. He enjoyed a much longer tenure than his predecessors, Sam and Dylan.

    How many Sea Lions do Longleat have? I know they had a youngster arrive last year.
