Telford zoo welcomes first babies of the year with two more tiny 'tree-cats'

This half-term, visitors to the zoo should be able to spot eight new tiny paws padding around the nocturnal zone after a mating pair of genets welcomed their latest twins.

The tiny "tree-cats" Jelly and Jam were born to proud parents Kaitlyn and Samba around six weeks ago.

Despite their feline appearance - with long tails, large ears, pointed muzzles and partly retractile claws - genets aren't related to cats at all and are actually closer to the mongoose or fossa.
