A park spokesperson said: "Cheetah cubs Kendi and Tafari experienced their first encounter with snow, playfully climbing and pouncing on a snowman built by park rangers, all under the watchful eye of their mother, Darcy.
"Meanwhile, the park’s polar bears were perfectly at home in the wintery weather and embraced the cold snap with spirited play."

The cubs were born at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, after their parents Darcy and Brook moved to the park last year as part of a European breeding project.
They were nurtured by Darcy in an enclosure for three months, but were allowed to start roaming the area in July.
