Trinity College is asking the public to help name fox cubs, who live on campus.

Last month, the college's unofficial mascot Sam, gave birth to five furry friends in the provost's garden.

Sam The Fox became a regular feature on Trinity’s campus last year, after staff started to feed the animal once scraps became scarce in lockdown.

Sam was spotted in recent months with another fox named Prince and the pair welcomed five cubs to their skulk.

Trinity Zoologist Collie Ennis says: "A few months ago, she formed a relationship with a fox called Prince who is a very handsome dog fox who arrived on to campus."

A video shared online says the cubs are getting big now, and the college is asking people to suggest some good fox names.
