Just recently, Prague Zoo told the world about their new-born cheetah quintuplets, and now (on the International Cat Day), another Czech Zoo has announced some equally great news on their newest edition, five extremely rare white lions!
According to Dvorec Zoo representatives, the quintuplets were born on May 4. It was a big surprise for the zoo keepers, who were shouldered with a huge responsibility. All five cubs — male Mesfin (King) and four females, Asmara (Justice), Dabe (Health), Dunia (Life) and Congit (Beauty) — are in good shape and remain under the watchful eyes of their parents, seven-year-old Tia and six-year-old Agi.
The white lions' rare fur is the result of a genetic mutation. These animals came from South Africa's Timbavati and Kruger Regions. Less than 13 are estimated to live in the wild, while 300 are in captivity.
