Oxfordshire wildlife park hand-rears first armadillo pups

Version 0 of 1.

A keeper at Cotswold Wildlife Park is hand-rearing its first new-born armadillos after they were rejected by their mother.

Twins Amelia and Wallace have been staying in primate keeper Stacey Axeman's flat, where she has been acting as their surrogate mum.

Now they have moved to the Oxfordshire park, but are not yet on display.

The "strong and healthy" pair could join another collection as part of the European Breeding Programme (EEP).

Their parents Linda and Lucas are currently on show at the park near Burford.
