Tiny cub Karis proved she's not too dissimilar to human children as she threw herself into the pile of golden leaves carefully collected by her keepers, even ending up with a pile on her head.

The adventurous 11-week-old cub, who was born in September, is proving to be quite the character, with Mr Reid constantly coming up with new ways to entertain her.

'The keepers try to keep things interesting for Karis,' said park manager Gary Gilmour.

Karis was born on September 10 to Teekay and father Dudley, joining her older sister Libby who was born two years ago.

The cub will grow to around 150kg and brings the Blair Drummond pride to eight lions in total.

'She's doing absolutely great,' said Mr Gilmour.


'She is growing fast, and she has quite a wee temper on her.

'She's just starting to eat meat now.'

Karis has been kept away from the rest of the pride since her birth as keepers wait until she is a little bit bigger, although they expect her to be introduced to her fellow lions around Christmas time.
