BORTH Animalarium has launched a competition to name the attraction’s three new lynx kittens.

Jean Mumbray, of the animalarium, said a check by a vet had confirmed that the new arrivals were two females and one male, as animalarium staff had thought.

But the three kittens now need names and Jean said they wanted members of the public to suggest names for the “feisty” kittens.

She said: “They are getting quite feisty and the vet needed protective gauntlets.”

Jean has said anyone who would like to suggest a name for the kittens can do so by e-mailing their suggestion to [email protected]
