  • These adorable images were taken by staff at African Safari in the Oita prefecture in southern Japan
  • The cubs were born at the zoo earlier this year and their playful photographs were posted on Twitter
  • Their animal instincts have clearly not kicked in as they are even pictured snuggling up to bunnies
    •  These tiny creatures may still be small in the photographs but staff posted on Twitter that they are growing up fast
    See more images of these adorable friends



    These adorable lion and tiger cubs were born at African Safari in the Oita prefecture of Japan earlier this year


    Staff at the zoo have been sharing these adorable photographs over the last few weeks, making thousands of people coo over the images


    Staff at the park remarked on Twitter how while it's young, the lion cub looks more like a leopard in this photograph


     There are currently several sets of tiger and lion cubs at the park but this pair have struck up an unlikely friendship


    Entrance to the safari park costs 2,500 Yen (£18.09) for adults and 1,400 Yen (£10.13) for children, with additional charges for some areas


    Hug me! African Safari has a petting zoo where visitors can actually have their pictures taken with furry creature - for now


    The cubs play fighting


    The cubs playing in the grass


    The revealing images show how the animals have yet to gain their animal instincts. Above, the tiger cub snuggles up to a bunny at the zoo


    This curious tiger cub is seen sniffing the bunnies, who in turn appear to be completely unafraid of the big cat


    The lion cub appears to be eyeing up its prey
