More photos after the jump, but keep your squeals to a minimum, people are working!
These three white tiger cubs were born at a zoo the Czech Republic.The two males and one female cub are happy, healthy and damn cute.
White tigers are not a species, but are born with a recessive gene that keeps their fur from becoming the proper color. They’re beautiful, and popular in zoos, but extremely rare in the wild as their white coloring doesn’t camouflage them from their prey.
The in-breeding required to keep a population in captivity causes a variety of physical deformities including crossed eyes.
