Adorable photos show two young cheetah cubs experiencing snow and playing with a snowman for the first time.

Kendi and Tafari, aged six months, were spotted playfully pouncing on a snowman that was built by park rangers at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster, South Yorks.

Another adorable picture shows the pair hiding behind the snowman, while their mom Darcy watches them.

The cubs were born at the wildlife park in May this year, so this was their first time experiencing snow.

A park spokesperson said: “Cheetah cubs Kendi and Tafari experienced their first encounter with snow, playfully climbing and pouncing on a snowman built by park rangers, all under the watchful eye of their mother, Darcy.

“Meanwhile, the park’s polar bears were perfectly at home in the wintry weather and embraced the cold snap with spirited play.”

The cubs were born at Yorkshire Wildlife Park after their parents Darcy and Brook moved to the park last year as part of a European breeding project.

They were nurtured by Darcy in an enclosure for three months, but were allowed to start roaming the area in July.
