The Shanghai Wild Animal Park in the Pudong New Area has welcomed a number of new lives recently who are starting to greet visitors as the Year of the Dragon approaches.

The baby animals include a brown bear and African lion triplets, all nearly one-month-old, and a chimpanzee that is almost three-months-old.

"These cute babies are being fed with milk and they spend most of their time sleeping like other infants," said Zhang Qing, a keeper of the baby animals. "We are keeping a close eye on their situations as they are small and fragile."

The park opened a tiger-themed restaurant and updated the performance at its circus theater to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.
