''Joshua looked like me and Jakob was pale. We were completely stunned,'' Jennifer said.
Other differences
Besides having different complexions, the twins also have different personalities.
''Joshua has a ''true people person,'' who thrives on interactions with others. Jakob, on the other hand, is more of an observer. He likes to sit and take it all in,'' Jennifer revealed.
The 18-month-old siblings complement each other perfectly. Watch their video below:
Another biracial twins story
In a separate story, Briefly News reported that, a mother in Manchester, England, Jade Ball, has given birth to a set of biracial twin boys who look different just like any other set of fraternal twins.
Jade Ball and her better half, Kade, gave birth to the adorable twins, Cole and Klay, last April. In an interview with TODAY Parents, Jade Ball established that when she gave birth to the boys, ''It was obvious they weren’t identical.''
The phenomenon of biracial twins is increasing as the world becomes more accepting of interracial relationships and the results are a wonder to behold as nature shows us the limitless number of beautiful genetic options she can create.
