TWO rare white tiger cubs born at West Midland Safari Park were captured - by an artist.

Brother and sister tigers, Khan and Charu, are the subjects of a watercolour painting by artist, Paul Dyson. He decided to paint them after visiting the park last summer.

The cubs were the first white Bengal tigers to be born in this country - last May - and were five months old when Mr Dyson painted them.

The original painting and limited edition prints are available to buy and Mr Dyson will make a donation to West Midland Safari Park from their sale. He also donated two of the prints to the park.

Anyone interested in buying either the original painting or one of the prints, can contact Mr Dyson on 0115 952 1552.
