Cute white lion cubs form part of breeding programme

Four white lion cubs are forming part of an extensive white lion breeding program underway at a South African Park. For centuries rumours of mysterious white lions circulated in South Africa. Claims of sightings of the white lion started to surface in 1928. Scattered reports continued but confirmation that these animals were really white did not come until 1975 when a litter containing two white cubs was seen at Timbavati Game Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park. Several lions still survive from the original strain, all in captivity, and the breeding of white lions in various zoos around the world must be handled very carefully.

Wow, Beautiful, nothing like inbreeding a species that has no importance in the sustainability of the lion species. Not only that but if in the wild they would die of starvation because they have no camouflage in the savanna where they hunt. Any zoo that would openly purchase these poor animals should be shut down. A zoo's purpose is to educate the public on these wild animals and their plights, not feed in to the abuse and inbreeding which causes many physical defects.

It's like a cross between a lion and a sheep :3

There are less than 200 White lions in the wild.

There are about 100 in zoo's so there is about 300 of them are left in the world, there are less and less white lions every year, and it should be an honor to be able to see one, right in front of you. I know i would be in Awe. This is truly Beautiful. Lets make a different in the world and keep these gorgeous animal in our world.<3
