The staff at the Dudley attraction have welcomed two adorable baby reindeers into the paddock, Flynn and Flora.

Little Flynn was born to first-time mum Ivy on April 21, while Lily gave birth to baby Flora five days later.

The calves join four-week-old Koda in the reindeer paddock. They all share the same 'alpha male' dad, Kenny.

In a post on social media, Dudley Zoo staff wrote: "We’ve got more tiny hooves in the reindeer paddock following the arrival of two further newborn calves.

"Work on our new ‘Reindeer Ravine’ is progressing well on the lower zoo site and we’ll be revealing more soon.

"If you're visiting over the Bank Holiday weekend, don't forget to see our newbies!"
