Penguin chicks Indiana, Ivory and Izzy are the latest arrivals to be born at the Bewdley park since it closed in March in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The three chicks hatched on April 10 to parents Elm and Elder, Ebony and Wispa, and Juniper and Ash.

Last month, the park announced the arrival of two new Père David’s deer calves - a species classified as extinct in the wild.

Since lockdown, the safari park has also shared photographs of its seven African lion cubs, born in August and September last year.

The cubs have grown a lot since the visitors last saw them, but keepers say they're still as mischievous as ever.

West Midland Safari Park closed on March 19 and bosses have said the park will only reopen when it is safe to do so.

Land off the A456 Kidderminster Road is being used as a drive-through test centre in an effort to boost the national testing capacity.

The unit is being operated by the Department of Health and Social Care, and is offering self-administered tests for essential workers on an appointment only basis until Friday (March 22).

More than 100 staff at the safari park are currently furloughed.
