Everybody, meet Yeti, Odlin, Sampson, and Apolo. They are four of the rarest animals in the world, and just so it happens, they are also amongst the most adorable ones as well.
The four siblings are ligers. In other words, they are lion-tiger hybrids. As you probably know, ligers are extremely rare. But white ligers are even rarer. In fact, the four brothers you’re going to meet by watching the video below are actually the first of their kind.
This means that the adorable cubs are in fact the rarest of their species. What’s more, the baby tigers might grow to be the biggest cats in the world.
The cubs were born at a zoo in South Carolina from a white male lion and white female tiger. Their parents are extremely rare in their own right, considering there are only about 300 white lions and 1,200 white tigers still left in the world.
As you can imagine, the four brothers are very well taken care of at the T.I.G.E.R. Sanctuary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where they currently reside with their parents.
In fact, they even have their own human “staff” there to cater to their every need and ensure nothing bad happens to the precious cubs.
But soon, they might need even more people to look after them. That’s because Yeti, Odlin, Sampson, and Apolo are gaining about a pound of weight a day, so they are visibly growing by the week.
This also means they are not going to stay babies for much longer, so you might as well enjoy these adorable pictures of them now!
