Reece Oliver gives message on future of Strelley enclosure after 2 cubs born

Lion keeper Reece Oliver has told people to 'keep their eyes peeled' over the future of his enclosure in Strelley Village after two cubs were born at the site. Mr Oliver, 31, was playing a game of football on March 1 when he was interrupted by the news that two cubs had just been born at his enclosure.

Mr Oliver, who is a licensed zookeeper and looks after two lions, Rocky and Rora, had previously told Nottinghamshire Live that the birth of two female cubs, who have been named Ruby and Rosie, was a "big surprise". And he is now considering the future of his enclosure after the surprise birth of the twins.

"We don't need to relocate, we have a big enough enclosure here and we have the facilities - we have two outdoor dens, possibly three, and permission for two indoors here. We have enough here to keep them but relocating could possibly be on the cards.
