A tiny pair of endangered cats, born no bigger than a mouse, have been born in the UK.
The rusty-spotted cats, the world's rarest and smallest breed, have been filmed in an adorable video of them snuggling up to their mum.
The duo were born at the Rusty Spotted Cat Conservation Breeding Programme at Porfell Wildlife Park in Cornwall.
They species is native of Sri Lanka and India, and are reported to measure between 35cm and 48cm from nose to tail when fully grown.
A spokeswoman for the programme said: "Last summer we had the opportunity to take on a pair of Rusty-spotted cats, had an enclosure spare and were excited to have something so rare.
"To our understanding we are estimating that there are only around 50 of this species being kept in captivity across the world.
"The pair came from the Feral – Wild Animal Project run by Todd Dalton and are part of a breeding program.
"The cubs/kittens are coming up to eight weeks old and have been well looked after by mum."
She added: ‘We are unsure of their gender as she’s so protective and doesn’t let us too near.
"They have only recently been spotted out of their den and seem to be getting more curious each day.
"They both seem very healthy and have started to show a little bit of personality.
"They’ve been giving our very small team a lot of joy during this all this uncertainty and put a smile on our faces each morning."
