There you are! Meet Rhubarb and Custard, two little lynx cubs who love to play hide and seek at Whipsnade Zoo.

The cubs are the first European lynx to be born at the zoo. In the wild, they like to live in forests so that is why there is so much grass in their enclosure!

The lynx is known by the tuft of black hair on the tips of its ears and its short, or "bobbed", tail. In fact, one species of lynx is called a bobcat!
