WELCOMING new twins into the world is always a momentous event.

But when brothers Ryan and Leo arrived they had an extra surprise for their parents - they were born with different colored skin.

For one twin to be black and one to be white is so rare that it is thought by medical experts to be a one-in-a-million occurrence.

The twins' mother, Florence, 35, is from Ghana, West Africa while their father, Stephan, is German.

Stephan, 40, said though the couple was surprised by the colorings, the most important thing was the babies were healthy.

The infants caused a sensation at the Sana Hospital in Lichtenberg, Germany, where they were born last week, with guests crowding around to greet the new arrivals.

And the twins are already revealing opposing personalities.

Ryan is described as a spirited baby, while Leo is laid back.

Welcome to the world Ryan and Leo, and congratulations to their parents both having strong genes and strong children.

They're cute too!
I didn't know this could happen?
I need to check snopes.com to be sure the pic is for real or legit.

And the Black one filed a discrimination suit against the doctor because he delivered the white baby first.

Voted : They're cute too!
This happened a few years ago, somewhere in Europe. I remember the story because it was discussed at length in a forum I used to hang my hat in regularly.
