A Rare White Lion Was Born In Omaha And Attention Must Be Paid

The rare cub was born Nov. 21 along with a brother and sister at Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. Each of them are a little over 4 pounds.

This little guy apparently benefits from a rare recessive gene from both his parents, Ahadi and Mr. Big.

Zoo keepers are closely monitoring the cubs to make sure all is well, particularly since they are the first litter for their 6-year-old mother. And so far, zoo officials say Ahadi is providing "good maternal care."

As for the cubs, the zoo says they are nursing and appear to be healthy.
