Aww, cuteness! Ukrainian zoo's white lion cubs will surely melt your heart (See adorable pics inside)

New Delhi: Five adorable white lion cubs, born in a private zoo in Ukraine about two months ago, made their first public appearance, attracting tourists and the natives alike.

According to Volodymyr Shevchuk, director of the "XII Months" zoo near the Ukrainian capital, the male lion cubs have been separated from their parents, Ivanna and Ludvig.

Shevchuk says the cubs have quickly become favorites with the visitors.

White lions, which are extremely rare, are a genetic mutation of the African Lion. They are mostly found in zoos because the color mutation makes it difficult for them to survive in the wild.
