Extremely rare white tiger cubs have been born at Tobu Zoo in Japan.

Although the cubs are too young to be separated from their mother and shown to the public the zoo has made sure that people know about the new additions with a multi-coloured sign saying 'The babies have been born!'.

White tigers are incredibly rare and it is estimated that there are only 200 remaining in the wild, therefore the news births have been celebrated.

The cubs have not been named as yet but the zoo is welcoming suggestions with a naming ceremony taking place next month.
