Adorable footage has emerged of two newborn Amur Leopard cubs playing in their enclosure at Twycross Zoo, UK.

The video, captured on Monday, shows the cubs frolicking together in front of adoring zoo-goers.

According to the zoo's website, the cubs' birth marks a major milestone in it's efforts to save the species from extinction.

"Recent estimations show the number of wild Amur leopards has now dropped beneath 70 individuals however the exact number is difficult to count as they are so rare," it reads.

"With around 200 of these leopards in zoos across the world, the new cubs at Twycross will help conservationists hoping to reintroduce the cats and into the wild."
