During the New Year's Day holiday, two rare snow tiger cubs and a white tiger cub had their first show at the Nantong Forest Safari Park in East China's Jiangsu Province. According to a staff member, the snow tiger is the result of a further genetic mutation in the white tiger, and the probability of occurrence is one in 100,000.

The white tiger is a white variant of the Bengal tiger, while the snow tiger is a rare species of tiger with pure white fur and no distinct stripes. According to relevant data, there are only seven snow tigers in China. Netizens were impressed by the cute appearance of the baby snow tiger, with one saying: "Such cute little tigers deserve the most love and care. It is hoped that they will grow up safe and sound."
