A month ago they had baubles and tinsel hanging off them, today it is leopard cubs.

Discarded Christmas trees have become toys for a pair of rare leopard cubs at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation (WHF), Smarden.

The Amur leopard cubs, thought to be the rarest big cats of all with just 30 individuals left in the wild, were born in October.

Three-month-old Anuy and Argun, named after tributaries of the Amur River, are using the trees for hiding behind and climbing on.
