On Monday, the world met Lali, Lela, Lila, Lulu, and Obama. The five white tiger cubs made their debut at the White Zoo in Kernhof, Austria, one month and a day after they were born. White tigers are rare and nearly extinct in the wild, and according to zoo officials, this is the first time five white tiger cubs were born in Europe in a single litter. All are healthy and living comfortably with their mother, Burani. Take a closer look at the adorable cubs in the video below. --Catherine Garcia
