Film of the first snow leopard cubs born at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay, Conwy has been released.

The twins were born to resident snow leopards Otilia and Szechuan at the end of May.

They are spending time in a special enclosure with their mother until they grow stronger. They will be named when their genders can be determined, usually aged three months.
