The cub, an extremely rare subspecies of the African lion, was born December 9 in Belgrade Zoo. White lions are unique to the Timbavati area of South Africa and are not albinos but a genetic rarity.(AP Photo/Srdjan Ilic)

Four Moons of Saturn
An image of four moons of Saturn passing in front of their parent planet in seen this image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope February 24, 2009 and released by NASA March 17, 2009. In this view, the giant orange moon Titan casts a large shadow onto Saturn's north polar hood. Below Titan, near the ring plane and to the left, is the moon Mimas, casting a much smaller shadow onto Saturn's equatorial cloud tops. Farther to the left, and off Saturn's disk, are the bright moons Dione and the fainter Enceladus. REUTERS/NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team
Binary Star System
NASA Spitzer Space Telescope artist's conception shows a binary-star system, called HD 113766, where astronomers suspect a rocky Earth-like planet is forming around one of the stars. NASA is preparing to launch next month the Kepler spacecraft with a new space telescope that for the first time will be capable of detecting Earth-like planets outside our solar system, project managers said.(AFP/NASA/File)

Colliding Galaxies
This image provided by NASA from the Spitzer space telescope shows a pair of colliding galaxies called NGC 6240 in a rare, short-lived phase of their evolution just before they merge into a single, larger galaxy. The prolonged, violent collision has drastically altered the appearance of both galaxies and created huge amounts of heat -- turning NGC 6240 into an 'infrared luminous' active galaxy. This image was created from combined data from the infrared array camera of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.(AP Photo/NASA/JPL )

Gerberas Flowers
Gerberas flowers are seen in a field for export at a plantation in LLano Grande, 37 miles (60 km) east of San Jose, March 10, 2009. Flower producers have seen their exports to the United States and Canada reduced by 50 percent in the current global economic crisis, according to a producer's cooperative.

Giant Pandas Chuang Chuang and Lin Hui Playing
This 2005 photo shows two giant pandas on loan from China, Chuang Chuang and Lin Hui, playing together in their enclosure at the Chiang Mai Zoo in northern Thailand. It has been reported that the zoo has again resorted to artificial insemination the pandas after pornography, low-carb diets and even a spell out in the cold failed to inspire the celibate pair.(AFP/File/Pornchai Kittiwongsakul)
Planetary Nebula NGC 2818
This image provided by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the striking details of the famed planetary nebula designated NGC 2818, which lies in the southern constellation of Pyxis (the Compass). The spectacular structure of the planetary nebula contains the outer layers of a star that were expelled into interstellar space. The glowing gaseous shrouds in the nebula were shed by the central star after it ran out of fuel to sustain the nuclear reactions in its core. NGC 2818 is often heralded as one of the Galaxy(AP Photo/NASA)

Circular Star Tracks
A 45-minute time exposure made for circular star tracks is seen over this run-down barn along County Road A near Iron River, Wis., Sunday night, Feb. 15, 2009. During the time exposure, the barn was lit with a battery powered spotlight using a technique called light painting.(AP Photo/Nate Rendulich)
Giraffe

A program called 'Roar and Snore' allows visitors to stay overnight and see the animals in late evening and early morning walks where they can feed a giraffe or pat a seal during the behind-the-scene tours.(AP Photo/Mark Baker)

The baby Grant's zebra was born on Jan. 26 and is Peru's fourth ever born in captivity as part of a preservation program. Grant's zebras are numerous throughout a very wide area in Africa south of the Sahara. The newborn will be named through a naming competition.(AP Photo/Martin Mejia)
Comet Lulin
This image provided by NASA shows the Comet Lulin as it was passing through the constellation Libra when Swift imaged it. This view merges the Swift data with a Digital Sky Survey image of the star field. While waiting for high-energy outbursts and cosmic explosions, NASA's Swift Gamma-ray Explorer satellite is monitoring Comet Lulin as it closes on Earth. For the first time, astronomers are seeing simultaneous ultraviolet and X-ray images of a comet. Data acquired by Swift's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (blue and green) and X-Ray Telescope data (red). While all the planets and most of the other objects in the solar system circle the sun counterclockwise, Lulin circles clockwise, said NASA astronomer Stephen Edberg. And thanks to an optical illusion, from Earth it appears as if the comet's tail is in the front as the comet approaches Earth and the sun.(AP Photo/NASA)
Baby Gorilla
In this photo provided by the San Francisco Zoo, an infant male gorilla is presented for the first time to the media, Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009 in San Francisco. The baby gorilla was born December 8, 2008 at the San Francisco Zoo and now weighs 11.3 pounds. The Zoo is hand-rearing the infant gorilla and surrogate training another female gorilla after the birth mother did not show interest in the newborn. The Zoo announced a global 'Name the Baby' contest, as well as an online gift registry for its newest arrival.(AP Photo/George Nikitin, San Francisco Zoo)
Wombat
This photo provided by the Chicago Zoological Society shows a southern-hairy-nosed wombat joey, believed to be a female, snuggled up next to its mother, 8-year-old Kambora, at the Chicago Zoological Society's Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Ill., Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2009. The not-yet-named baby was born July 8, 2008, however, zookeepers were only recently able to get a good look at the youngster because, like all marsupials, wombat joeys develop in the pouch following a gestation period of approximately 21 days. The joey now weighs about 4 1/2 pounds. Currently, Brookfield Zoo is one of only four zoos in North America to exhibit southern hairy-nosed wombats and is home to four individuals (half the North America population), including the joey's sire, Carver.(AP Photo/Chicago Zoological Society, Jim Schulz)
