White lions escape the scene of
Global White Lion Foundation prepares to bring a white lion family of extremely rare goods to be returned to the natural environment to save them from the situation of artificial captivity.
The white lion Zihra and her husband, Mandla and three three-year-old lions, Zukhara, Matsienge and Nebu will be taken to South Africa in a few days. They are given anesthetic injections so that scientists can easily attach monitoring devices to know where they are on the desert, convenient for research, care and protection.
Scientists injected the anesthetic for the white lion.
The Global White Lion Foundation, founded in 2002 by environmentalist Linda Tucker, decided to bring this special lion back to nature. In the process of cultivating this lion, the Society has separated them from humans to ensure survival in nature.
The organization's scientific advisor, Jason Turner, said: 'Our goal is not to raise these white lions. Our program aims to balance them by bringing them back to their natural habitat and 'breeding' the white lion gene in the community. We have minimized interference and left no human mark on them. White lions develop with natural hunting skills in a free environment. '
Scientists minimize human contact for white lions.
These three lions will be living in a 1,000-hectare conservation area in Timbavati region, with many other species such as zebra, kudu antelope, African antelope, mottled serow, nyala antelope .
However, the reserve has decided to take giraffes to another place because they are a threat to lions, even if an experienced lion can attack a good giraffe. even a buffalo. This is necessary because only 20% of white lions can survive to adulthood, a giraffe's kick can also cause them to be injured or 'killed'.
Although they are imprisoned, they still develop natural hunting skills.
White-skinned lions are not the result of albinism but due to the rare genetic variation in the world. Some species of golden-brown lions carry a special gene, explaining why there are a few strange flocks in the whole herd of lions.
When 'mixed tea' enters the desert environment, white lions will not encounter too much danger as they can hide under the white sand or the mottled grass under the sun.
However, this white lion is rapidly declining in numbers because they become victims of poaching. Currently only about 500 white lions are in captivity and not protected by the law because they have so far not been recognized as a 'sub-species' in Panthera newspaper cousins.
Here are some pictures of white lions:

The number of white lions is decreasing due to not being protected by law.
Only 20% of white lions survived to adulthood.
The family of this rare lion will soon live happily in the natural environment.
