Cute white lion cubs form part of breeding programme
Uploaded by: itnsource
Video Description:
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.

I mean, sure, the creatures are gorgeous....but why exploit their rare beauty? And please, people, don't you dare thumbs down me for this. These beautiful animals don't deserve to be treated like the White Siberian Tigers are.
Don't get me wrong, it's great that these unique creatues are being conserved for the future, but I feel this may lead to the novelty being lost.
