Adorable white lion cubs sleepy after first walk (video)
These four adorable white lion cubs just took their first shaky steps at a park in the Crimean city of Sevastopol and they are clearly exhausted.
The cubs live separately from their mother, who was brought over from South Africa several years ago, but she helps the zoo staff nurture the cubs.

These beautiful animals are not even two weeks old yet, and at the moment they spend most of their time eating and sleeping, but they are preparing to one day live among the other lions.
White lions are just like any other lion except the difference in colour - which is not due to albinism but a genetic mutation that leaves these animals with less pigment.
According to Buzzle, they are believed to have evolved in Africa and can still be found in the south eastern regions, including in Kruger National Park.
National Geographic believes there are currently around 500 white lions in captivity around the world although none have been seen in the wild for many years.
