It's a girl! Woo!

There's a new lion cub at Dublin Zoo

There's been a very cute new arrival at Dublin Zoo. Well, we say new - she was actually born back on August 11th but her birth wasn't announced until today.

It's a new female Asian lion cub! And she's very cute.

The new cub was born to mother Sita and father Kumar and is said to be doing well. She's already hanging out with her older brother Kuno - who looks completely delighted to have a new little sister.

Not.

Kuno was born back in May - both births are very important to the zoo as Asian lions are an endangered species with only 350 living in the wild in the Gir Forest in India.

As always, Dublin Zoo will be asking the public to send in suggestions for the little ones name. For more info, visit their Facebook page here.
