The flock of barbary sheep has now grown in numbers after three kids were born at the popular Black Country attraction last week.

Twin male and females were born first and were soon followed by another baby girl.

Assistant curator Jay Haywood has said that all three of them are healthy and doing well.

Barbary sheep are native to rocky mountains in North Africa.

After sexing the trio, keepers attached plastic tags to their ears - left ear for a female and right ear for a male.

Each tag contains their unique identification number which helps the keepers monitor their health and progress closely.
