Yes.  That’s the same litter.  From the sister of YBM.  As such many call him ‘the nephew’

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about the white cub recently and we wanted to ease your minds! This little one has been doing well so far, as well as the other 8 youngsters with the Birmingham Pride in the east.

Often found playing with each other or begging the females for food, we have been lucky enough to watch these cubs explore the world around them. We can’t wait to watch the next generation of this impressive pride grow stronger every day!

Birmingham pride and their cubs [Including the white one]

White Lion sighting: On Shelly’s recent travels to Ngala Private Game Reserve, she got to view the latest superstar addition to the Birmingham Pride. A rare white Lion cub has been born to the young white Lioness, a sibling herself to a white male, and this brings the legacy of genetically unique individuals in this formidable family up to three!!! Although there are many white Lions sadly being bred in captivity, these three are living freely in the wild at Ngala, which, rather aptly, is the local Shangaan word for Lion. White Lions are leucistic, which means that a gene mutation makes their fur white, while their skin and eyes retain their natural pigment – a white Lion is not an albino Lion. White Lions are incredibly rare because the mating female and male must both possess the recessive gene in order to produce a white Lion cub. The likelihood of both Lions having this gene is extremely uncommon making these pale-coloured Lions very special.

Great stuff! So, this means that either Shaka, Scar, or both Mbiris also share the white gene.

Exactly - just a correction. The white female is cousin of the white male. Not sister as the photographer mentions in the post

Yeszzzzir. So exiting to see new white cubs. Hopefully we see more soon if the white lioness siblings also carry the gene it gives them a chance.

Ineed my friend, it would be incredible to have several of them moving around. I am just over the moon that the white male and female, from the Birmingham Pride, have both been thriving. It is very encouraging! Now to see the offspring that the white male creates.

Ideally we should hope that the White Prince and his Brothers takeover Avoca or Giraffe Prides. We know the white Gene has been present in those bloodlines. But it’s likely spread among others as well in the area.

RE: Birmingham Pride of lions - T I N O - 07-26-2023

White gene is still alive on Timbavati, Manyeleti and even Thornybush. So, only time will tell
