    The Yalta Zoo received a welcome surprise when two of their tan lions each produced an adorable litter of rare white babies. According to the (U.K.) Daily Mail, these cuties aren't albino, but the result of a recessive gene that was present in both parents. All five of the cubs have been brought together to be raised by zookeepers at the Yalta Zoo. The staff says that all the darlings are healthy and are expected to grow into stunning adults.

    Since the mothers of these babies did not produce enough milk for the cubs, zookeepers are bottle feeding the animals every two hours.
