These cute little characters are the latest arrivals at Wildwood park.

The baby polecats were delivered by mum Magic just over two weeks ago, after male polecat Colwyn was given to the park on breeding loan.

Wildwood keeper Karen Price said: “Magic is being a great mother.

“She is still keeping the babies hidden but as they get bigger over the coming weeks we will see them venturing out on their own.”

Polecats are the wild ancestors of the domesticated ferret, and have a distinctive robber-mask-style face markings.

They have largely disappeared from much of Britain due to heavy persecution from gamekeepers.

Wildwood Trust chief executive Peter Smith said: “Polecats are slowly recovering from the persecution that almost wiped them out, and Wildwood is pleased to be so actively involved in breeding them”
