MURRAY and his three siblings were born the day before the Scots tennis star claimed glory in the Wimbledon final and were given their first medical this week.
A SCOTTISH safari park is celebrating the birth of four baby lion cubs - and one has been named after a certain tennis star.
Keepers at Blair Drummond Safari Park, near Stirling, have named one of the adorable cubs Murray as he was born just a day before the men's Wimbledon final.
The move recognises 2016 champion Andy Murray's status as "the pride of Scotland".
Murray and his three siblings were born to lioness Karis and marks the first time in over 40 years that Blair Drummond has celebrated the birth of four cubs at the same time.
A park spokesman said: "We hope Andy will be overjoyed and will come in to meet wee Murray the next time he is home."
Members of the public will be able to suggest names for the other three cubs on the park's Facebook page.
All four cubs proved they were the park's mane attraction when they had their first routine health screening this week.
The three-week-old youngsters, fathered by new lion Zulu, were examined by park vet Colin Scott who sexed, weighed, wormed and microchipped them.
Mr Scott said: "It all went very well and the cubs are all in good health. We are delighted to find out that we have two boys and two girls in the group.
"They all weighed in at around 2.5 kilos and I expect them to double their weight when we come back in four weeks' time to give them their second worm tablet."
Head keeper Brian Reid, who had the task of catching up the cubs for their check-up, said: "Even though they look cute and cuddly, they are feisty - they have quite sharp claws.
"No teeth yet but we can expect them to start appearing by their next check-up. Karis has been an amazing first-time mum and is very protective of the cubs."
British No 1 Murray, who hails from nearby Dunblane, beat Milos Raonic on July 10 to win his second Wimbledon title and his third Grand Slam.
