Pictured: Proud parents show off their million-to-one black and white twins 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.

Mother Florence, 35, hails from Ghana , west Africa while father Stephan is German. Stephan, 40, said that although the couple were surprised by the children different colorings the most important thing was that the babies were healthy. Big yawn: Ryan (left) and Leo enjoy a nap, oblivious to the sensation their births have caused The infants caused a sensation at the Sana Hospital in Lichtenberg , Germany , where they were born on Friday last week, with guests crowding around to greet the new arrivals. And it is not only their skin colors that are different - the twins are already revealing opposing personalities. Light-skinned Ryan is described as a 'spirited' baby, while laid back brother Leo is a lot calmer. Senior doctor Birgit Weber, who helped deliver the tots by cesarean section, said that in 20 years of practice this was the first time she had seen differently colored twins.
