Al Ain Wildlife Park and Resort's new lion cubs will be called Dana and Laith, after a three-year-old's suggestions beat hundreds of others.
Born in October, Dana "large pearl" is the female and "Laith" "lion" the male.
The names were suggested by Laith Qattmeer, a Jordanian from Abu Dhabi.
"It was important to pick names that were closest to those living here" said Farshid Mehrdadfar, manager of the park's animal collection department.

How to wear a kandura
Dos
- Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion
- Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
- Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
- Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester
Don’ts
- Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
- Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
