Twins?!

J: Twins?! Really?! They look different… 

Go ahead and blink as we tell you they’re twins. That’s right: one-month-old jaguar cubs born at Nyiregyhaza Zoo east of the Hungarian capital of Budapest. The difference is unusual but not unknown in what will grow into big cats like their endangered wild cousins clinging on in the Andes mountains that extend through seven South American nations. Twins can take on the colors of the mother and father, which as you can see can be distinctly different.
