Pride of lions arrives at Pembrokeshire zoo
A zoo in Pembrokeshire is welcoming Wales' first ever pride of African lions.
The pride, which is made up of one adult male, and a family of lionesses and juvenile lions have made the journey from Longleat Safari Park to Folly Farm, helping to make the attraction a flagship exhibit for Wales.
The arrival of the pride marks the completion of a £500,000 project to build a purpose-built two acre enclosure for the lions.
The lion's new enclosure is made up of four dens/bedrooms, and from today, visitors will be able to come and see them.
Alongside the lion house there is an education centre, themed as a fully-equipped ranger's hut. It will provide visitors with information on African lions, and the work carried out to monitor and protect them.
It's estimated the numbers of African lions in the wild have declined by as much as 30% in the last ten years.
