Whipsnade Zoo completes health checks on its trio of lion cubs Whipsnade Zoo's trio of 11-week-old Northern African lion cubs have had their first health check, allowing their excited keepers to finally learn the sexes of the conservation zoo's newest arrivals. The zoo's expert vet team and keepers carried out the cubs' medical exam in the familiar surroundings of their indoor den, to keep the cubs as relaxed as possible. The team – consisting of one vet, a vet nurse, and keepers worked quickly to get all three lions checked, vaccinated, and sexed as fast as possible- with their meticulously planned process meaning they were done in just 15 minutes. Whipsnade Zoo's senior veterinary officer Dr Taina Strike began by determining the sexes of the cubs, announcing that Winta was the proud mother of two males and one female. She then gave each cub a check-up, which included administering vaccines, fitting microchips, listening to their hearts, and inspecting their tiny paws and ears. The vets also took the opportunity to thoroughly check the progress of the cub who hadn't been walking as expected, and were happy to report that his leg is faring much better now. However, during the examination, a heart murmur was detected in the second male cub. The infant will now be under close veterinary observation for the next few weeks, and Whipsnade's vets will share what they learn with other conservation zoos and wildlife vets to improve veterinary care for big cats around the world., Credit:ZSL Whipsnade Zoo / Avalon
