Three Cubs of the Rare White Bengal Tiger Were Born in a Crimean Safari Park


Belogorsk, Crimea - Three cubs of the rare white bengal tiger born in a Crimean safari park were shown to the public.

Born in early October, the cubs were still not able to open their eyes and squeaked as they tried to crawl on the park grass.

The Crimean safari park chief zookeeper said the birth of the blue-eyed bengal tiger triplets was an important contribution to the park's collection, which also helps saving the animals from extinction.

Two of the cubs are male, and one female.

The zookeeper reports that the little ones are developing really well.

White tigers are a genetic variation of the better-known orange bengal tigers.

Between 5000 and 7000 tigers live in the wild, down from 100,000 at the start of the 20th-century.

Poaching, deforestation and over-hunting of their natural prey have hit their numbers.

The peninsula of Crimea is recognized internationally as part of Ukraine, although it has been largely integrated into Russia after Moscow annexed the territory in 2014.
