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.
