Unheard of at any other zoo in the world, The Aschersleben Zoo in Germany is celebrating the birth of two rare white jaguar cubs, who ventured out for the first time since they were born back in January. Still unnamed, the brothers were born to 17-year-old father Mescal, who has a typical spotty coat, and 13-year-old mother Polly, who is jet black.
It is not known how or if their colour will change as they continue to grow.
