One in a million: black twin and white twin

Different coloured twins were born in Germany’s town of Lichtenberg, the British Daily Mail newspaper reports. Although they come from a mixed couple, doctors say the case is one in a million. Their mother Florence comes from Ghana while father Stephan is German.

One of the newly born brothers, Ryan, is light-skinned, and the other, Leo, is black. They were delivered by a caesarian section.

The babies are healthy and the surprised but happy parents say this is the most important thing for them.

The brothers are already revealing opposing personalities: Ryan is more spirited and Leo is quite calm.

I don't keep up on Russian papers, this could be the national enquirer equivalent there for all I know. Just stumbled across it and thought it was cool.

2. I think that's so cool!
And they ARE adorable! (Too bad Ryan's little outfit doesn't say OBAMA -- so close!)

6. Do you remember reading about these little girls born in Great Britain
a couple of years ago? Both parents were of mixed race in this instance.
