After being rejected by their mother, two rare white lion cubs are being raised by workers at the Belgrade Zoo in Serbia.

The three-week-old cubs made their public debut last week, sporting curious looks as they wandered around a wooden crate. Only about 200 white lions remain in the wild, ABC7 reports, and they are considered divine in some cultures. Watch the video below to see the adorable cubs in action. --Catherine Garcia
