Seven rare white wild cats — four lions and three tigers — have been born in the past week in a private zoo in central Poland.
The lions were born on Sunday at the Zoo Safari in Borysew and are
doing well under the care of their mother, 5-year-old Azira. They are
the fourth litter for Azira and 7-year-old Sahim. There are at most only
a few hundred white lions in the world.
Head of the zoo Andrzej Pabich said the genders of the cubs was unknown because keepers have not touched them yet.
On Thursday, a white tiger also gave birth at the zoo, and Pabich believes there are three cubs.
