Mogo Zoo on the NSW southern coast of Australia, is the first zoo in the world to have a lion give birth to five male white lion cubs.
The cubs holed up with parent lions Tim and Snow since their birth on Febuary 7th - until this week. Mogo Zoo owner Shelley Padey announced the litter of cubs on November 7th, after wanting to keep the little "gangsters" (as the zoo calls them) a secret until they were a little older.
"We didn't release it because we wanted to make sure everything went well with the pride," Padey said. "They're little gangsters...they work as a little troop. They're real little characters - it's beyond words how lucky I am."
The Mogo Zoo specializes in endangered species. White lions have a lifespan of just up to 15 years in the wild, but live up to 24 years in captivity.
