Peering out from amongst his brothers and sisters this White Tiger cub is unaware of all the fuss around him.

He is the ONLY wild White Tiger in the world, and he and his brothers and sisters already carry the future of their species on their tiny shoulders.

Captured here on film at just a few hours old at their home in the Tiger Canyons Sanctuary, close to Phillipolis in central South Africa, it is still not sure how many of them will survive.

The cubs were born in dramatic fashion on Sunday night (November 1) during one of the worst electrical storms in recent memory.

They’re being watched over by Tiger conservationist John Varty, 58, who runs the sanctuary. He says: “They’re an incredible addition, Julie is like a member of my family, so for me seeing them for the first time was very emotional for me.”
