The cubs will be baptized this week, the paper reports. Male Bengal tigers can grow to 500 pounds, females up to 375 pounds, and they can measure eight feet long. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
White tigers don't live long in the wild, in part because their white coats stand out. In the past century, only 12 have been seen in the wild, according to the Daily Mail. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
At the zoo, their life expectancy is close to 20 years. Here, one of the cubs cuddles with mom. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
