Moram da potražim informaciju o belim lavovima, jer se nalaze u kavezu potpuno odvojenom od ostalih "maca" i nisu ni malo agresivni.
I nije baš sasvim tačno da samo dremaju, ja sam ih uhvatili kada su radili i neke druge stvari ali pošto im poza baš nije bila najbolja, rešila sam da to ne stavljam, a od ljudi koji ovuda idu češće sam saznala da oni to stalno rade...
Este leon Enrique,por desgracia estaba tan vago y dormido, que era imposible creer que impone con algo. A dos metros de mi estaba mirando en vacio, completamente desinteresado incluso cuando yo le disparaba el flash con mi camara.
Su unico interes fue por la leona, que estaba a su lado e intentaba inspirarlo a hacer el amor, pero el incluso eso, lo hacia con muy poca gana y mas bien disimulando que haciendo algo...
The white lion is occasionally found in wildlife reserves in South Africa and is a rare color mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri). It has been perpetuated by selective breeding in zoos around the world. White lions are not a separate subspecies and they have never been common in the wild. Regarded as divine by locals, white lions first came to public attention in the 1970s in Chris McBride's book The White Lions of Timbavati. White cubs occasionally turn up among tawny lions in the Timbavati and Kruger National Park regions. Because the gene is recessive and is masked by the normal tawny colour, white lions remain rare in the wild and only occur when two lions carrying the mutant gene are mated together. The greatest population of white lions is in zoos where they are deliberately bred for color. The population of the white lion is unknown but the most recent count was in 2004 and 300 were alive.They are extinct in the wild and have been for 12 years
White lions are not albino lions. Instead, the white color is caused by a recessive gene known as chinchilla or color inhibitor. They vary from blonde through to near white, however some can also be red. This coloration gives white lions a distinct disadvantage in nature because they are highly visible. This gives them away to their prey and makes them an attractive target for hunters. According to Linda Tucker, in "Mystery of the White Lions - Children of the Sun God" they are bred in camps in South Africa as trophies for canned hunts.
The chinchilla mutation, a recessive gene, gives white lions their unusual color. A similar gene also produces white tigers. White lions can therefore be selectively bred for zoos and animal shows. Such breeding involves inbreeding of close relatives and can result in inbreeding depression (genetic defects, reduced fertility and physical defects) although this has not yet been recorded in white lions in zoos as it has in white tigers. According to Tucker, white lions in canned hunt camps have been found to have hind-limb paralysis and serious heart defects, indicating a severe level of inbreeding involved in mass-production although they are rare in the wild.

Kako si po ovoj vrucini setala po ZOO? Ovi beli lavovi stalno dremaju,valjda zbog vrucine.Lep snimak.S

Un bellísmo león! Aunque tenga los ojos cerrados es un animal imponente.
Saludos, Enrique

Читајући вашу преписку, могу само да дођем до закључка да ни лавови нису више оно што су били!
Ха ха Мишо видиш како се ти јако лепо сналазиш са језицима, посебно када те тема интересује.
Ово свакако није обичан лав

Па сналазим се кад затреба. На разне начине додуше, али.... функционише.
Редкий зверь! SEKICA, ОТЛИЧНО ВЛАДЕЕШЬ РУССКИМ! Спасибо тебе! Надя.
Да редкий!
Русский мы изучили в школе. спасибо.
Great shot! I have never seen a white lion!
This lion is fairly quiet. I was taking pictures just a few meters from him. You see, I was totally thoughtful. Thank you NightHunter!
