#BreakingNews: another white lion cub has been born on Ngala Private Game Reserve, Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Read full story below…
In October Ngala rangers identified a lion den site of one of the young Birmingham (a local lion pride) females in a deep thicket along the dry Timbavati River. andBeyond Ngala has a strict protocol of non-interference around den sites and game viewing of young animals. And in line with this, the newly established den site was observed from a non-intrusive and safe distance.

Using binoculars to observe the den site, speculation among guests and rangers alike grew. How many cubs were there? Was the one cub paler compared to the other two? With the differentiating light and shade within the thicket, no-one was sure. This question would only be answered when the lioness moved her den site.

Earlier this week, ranger Lyle McCabe and his guests enjoyed this opportunity when the Birmingham lioness brought her 3 cubs into the open. It was confirmed. One of the cubs is a white lion. It has happened again!

In March this year a lion from the same Birmingham pride gave birth to four cubs, with one being a white lion cub. Unfortunately there was a male lion coalition territorial take-over and as a result, all the cubs did not survive. However, the cubs born now, in early October, are most likely the offspring of these new dominant male lions. We will have to patiently wait to observe if the current dominant male coalition accepts the cubs as their own. We will try and keep you updated.

Please understand, as with all young predator cubs, andBeyond guides are exercising the greatest sensitivity and caution in respect of viewing these animals, as the youngsters are still vulnerable. These strict parameters are done within our andBeyond policy and ethics of putting the animal first at all times.

Have more question...carry on reading…
---------
How many white lions are they?
Currently it is believed that there are 13 wild white lions that live in the wild, with only two known individuals in the Kruger National Park.
----------
Are white lions albino lions?
No, they’re not. The absence of colour in a white lion is due to a recessive gene. Both tawny lions have to carry the recessive gene and successfully mate to produce a white lion. Currently white lions are also not a separate species or subspecies of the tawny coloured lions.
----------
When can guests start viewing the cubs?
Game drives to the den site will be at the discretion of rangers. All efforts are made to minimise disturbing the pride, and will only be conducted should they feel the cubs can be viewed safely and securely. As these are wild animals, we unfortunately cannot guarantee sightings

This is a very good questions,and one we have been asking ourselves for a while now. Is there still space for free-roaming baboons on the Cape Peninsula, with the urban edges encroaching so rapidly, and the mind-set of people seeming to be more and more fearful?Over the past few days we have paid cognisance of National Heritage Day, acknowledging that baboons are part of our heritage and part of our culture, but the question I have for everyone is where do you you see baboons in our future?
In the past baboons have been part of satyrical commentary and negative connotation but also a role in ancient folk tales; they played a huge part in medical research but are widely vilified as "problem animals".

So folks, where do baboons fit in our vision of the future? Is there space for them in our lives? will me make room for these fascinating, yet wilful wildlife neighbours? Tell us what you think. ... See MoreSee Less
