Rare white tigers charm Moscow zoo visitors
Published 26 June, 2008, 21:51
A family of rare white tigers have been released into an outdoor section at Moscow zoo. The rare Bengals have difficulties surviving in the wild because their distinctive pale colouring make it difficult for them to hide.
The three cubs, two male and one female, were born at the end of March but have been kept indoors until now.
This week the cubs and their mother have been soaking up the summer sun at their new home which comes with a private swimming pool.
This is the second time the tigress has produced cubs at the zoo, and keepers say she's a good mother.
