7 rare cats born in zoo (pics)

By:

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.

    We would NOT have ANY trouble with mice if these big kitty cats were patrolling the house, would we? Ha, Ha.
