White tiger mother gives birth to 6

Recently, a white tiger named Jingjing gave birth to six babies in Zhengzhou, Henan province.

White tigers normally give birth to one to four babies at a time. So it was a rare occurrence when six white tiger babies — two males and four females — born at Enjoy Animal Kingdom, a local animal theme park.

White tigers are a first-class national protected animal in China. A park worker told Zhengzhou Daily that the species has a hard time surviving in the wild because of its lack of protective coloring.

As day and night temperatures vary widely in the spring, the theme park authority set up an insulated box, which is kept at a constant 26 C for the newborns.
