Ngozi is one of 6 White lions at Big Cat Sanctuary, Kent, and the only male. He shares his enclosure with a white lioness called Imara. There are now only 13 white lions left in the wild and they are not on an endangered list as they are considered Panthera Leo. White lions have a rare recessive gene and the only way to guarantee a white cub is to breed two white lions, producing extremely inbred animals that suffer from deformities and high mortality. Subsequently breeding white lions is now banned by BIAZA, AZA and EAZA.
On ne croise pas très souvent le Lion blanc dans la réserve naturelle du parc Kruger !Il fait l'objet d'élevages intensifs dans les zoos )La couleur qui le caractérise qui varie du blanc au blond ,provient d'une mutation génétique et par conséquent ils ne sont pas atteints d'albinisme !
Une première observation pour nous avec plus de 2 heures pour attendre le coucher du soleil et enfin le voir quitter l'ombre d'un buisson pour aller boire à quelques mètres .Hélas une prise de vue compliquée avec une forte plongée mais un incroyable moment d'émotion de capter ce regard !
Pascha was in fine voice. Which was much needed.
Photography is so therapeutic when you are not yourself and needing to get out of the house.

Kovu is the white lion at another zoo. I struggled so much to get images of him and his sister that i was happy with.
The whole colouring just threw me.
He is however an impressive specimen and his mane is gorgeous.
The eye contact from this boy was amazing. Stunning eyes too.
An immense size. Both were rescued from a circus in Europe and are used to people.

There are now only 11 White lions left in the wild in Africa.
Fintan is grinning because he's just passed a test Zookeepers have set for him - successfully imprinting on the fact this stick is an enemy. Even if it isn't. (Fintan would like everybody to know he wasn't in complete control of his grin here.)

There once was a lion
named Rudy
who became increasingly
moody.
Having poachers in his diet
led to some disquiet
And he wanted to be famous
as a foodie.

He is who you see first when you wake in the morning at Glen Garriff.
I was mesmerised by this lonely White Lion, Pascha, pacing and grunting. He does usually have a lot to say for himself in the morning!! The light was hitting him as he paced and I took a few frames.
I got goosebumps watching him. He reminds me that sometimes, silence is not an option.

Whilst at Glen Garriff conservation, we stayed at the Lion House, which is adjacent to Shalom's camp. Every morning on the verandah, he would be nearby. This incredible lion rescue is a must see for all photographers.

Wikipedia: The white lion is a rare color mutation of the lion, specifically the Southern African lion. White lions in the area of Timbavati were thought to have been indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries, although the earliest recorded sighting in this region was in 1938. Regarded as divine by some African cultures, white lions first became known to the English-speaking world in the 1977 through the book The White Lions of Timbavati.
