There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It could be that their father or grandfather comes from that arena. Also to have white cubs both parents needs to carry white gene and still it gives only 25% percent chances to get white cub from it. In general white genes has to be really strong in the arena to make possiblity of having white cubs in the arena.
Well its only my speculation, its impossible to know..
Actually i found that besides Timbavati, Umbabat and Balule area where white lions are recorded since 1970s/1980s, that 3 white cubs where observed around Tshokwane in the past and that 1 adult male lion was seen around Tshokwane area in 1992...
So yea, it can be that white gene is passed from generation to generation and that Shishangaan males doesn't have to be from areas where white lions where sighted..
Is there any info from where Shishangaan males came from?
