Altina's animal and operations manager, Rebecca Surian, says it's always exciting to see imported animals adapt well to their new environment.
"Because Layla is an import from Africa, it's always super exciting when animals come in from overseas and they're happy in their new homes," Ms Surian said.
"The fact that Layla has given us a second litter of kittens is awesome, she's such a natural mum.
"She's so easy-going and even better than what she was first time around."
The twin boys were born on June 26 during a difficult time for many people in the world, but have brought sunshine and smiles to Altina Wildlife Park.
"Everyone's going through a real challenging time in the world at the moment," Ms Surian said.
"So it's nice to have some good news for once, rather than hearing all the doom and gloom that we've been hearing.
"We're very happy and excited that we've got something nice to share with the world."
At six weeks of age, Layla weaned her kittens and one of the twins moved to Queensland with his two older brothers to become an ambassador for their species.
Altina says the three boys will be greatly missed, but one nameless baby boy remains with his older sister Michelle, mother Layla and father Hasani.
"We're super excited, both boys were extremely healthy right from the word go and we didn't have to interfere whatsoever.
"It's refreshing to have animals that know what they're doing."
Layla, Michelle and the new arrival can be seen on everyday tours throughout the week, an incredible site which should not be missed.
The Servals are a medium-sized athletic cat which can be found in wetlands across Africa, characterised by incorporating spots and stripes over their sleek, slender physiques.
At first glance they can resemble a Cheetah, but they are actually miniature in size, only reaching 53 centimetres tall.
