This is the adorable moment a trio of critically endangered tiger cubs underwent a health check before taking their first steps outdoors at West Midlands Safari Park

The Sumatran tiger cub triplets were born at the tourist attraction in Bewdley, Worcestershire, on January 17 this year. 

The tiny trio arrived to 13-year-old mum Dourga and have now had their first health checks at eight-weeks-old, which has also confirmed their sex.

Photographs show the tigers being carefully weighed and checked over by vets and keepers before they ventured into their outside enclosure for the first time. 

The health check, which also involved their first vaccinations, confirmed that there are two girls and a boy.
