A mother in Berlin, Germany has given birth to a set of rare black and white twins.

Little Leo looks like his mother with dark skin and his brother Ryan,
looks more like his father with light colored skin. The twin's mother is West African and the father is from Germany.

Doctors say it is an extremely rare occurrence, but it is possible if genes combine in a certain way.

The twin boys, named Ryan and Leo, are the offspring of a mixed-race couple.

Mum, Florence, hails from Ghana in western Africa and dad, Stephan, from Potsdam in Germany.

"Ryan came first, and everything was as usual," said the hospital's doctor Birgit Weber.

"But when Leo was born, I couldn't believe my eyes."
