Mother of twins won't be reproducing soon: she's on the pill (of sorts)
A lioness at Paignton Zoo's at no risk of getting pregnant - she's one of a number of animals who's been given a contraceptive implant.
The Devon attraction's been taking steps to prevent some species reproducing, because of a risk of TB.
Last September, one antelope died and 10 others were put down because of the disease.
The zoo would normally move some newborns to other institutions - but TB outbreaks result in restrictions on movement.
Paignton already has two lion cubs who are 20 months old. The five year-old lioness who's on the contraceptive is their mother.
