When October 27, 2018

Where: Mondo Verde Landgraaf, The Netherlands

You could count on us sharing a photo of father Transvaal Lion since he's allowed outside again with his mate and cubs. He's very happy with the former, and doesn't care much for the latter.

With their pale coloring due to their leucism, they also have quite light-colored eyes, which are more apparent in the male because he's already got those gradations in color due to his mane.

It's not the most charming look for him - when is slack-jawed ever - but you get a good idea of his looks - and thus, an idea of what his son will look like in a few years!

Species: Southeast African, Transvaal or Kalahari Lion (Witte leeuw)

Latin name: Panthera Leo Krugeri syn. Panthera Leo Melanochaita

Originates from southern Africa, rangingfrom southern Namibia to southeastern Mozambique.

Did you know:

…Southeast African Lion are a subspecies of the African Lion.

…White Lions are a color mutation of Transvaal Lions. This is called leucism, and in Lions it only occurs in this particular subspecies.
