Two lynx kittens, thought to be the first pair born in a UK zoo, will be named by the public.
The “playful and inquisitive” babies who live at Wild Place Project, Bristol, will have theirs names decided in a Facebook poll
The shortlist includes Viking-inspired names - such as Ragnar and Lagertha and Lars and Sigrid - after characters from Eurovision film The Story Of Fire Saga, and Kinsey, in tribute to UK caves where lynx bones have been discovered.
A spokesman for the Wild Place Project said: “The pair are becoming more playful and inquisitive, and venturing out of their den in the woodland undergrowth more frequently.

It has been a good month for the Wild Place project and it recently celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of Bear Wood.
