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.

There's a pic of him, but I didn't save it.
That puts the number of wild white lions at 6. Casper, 1/2 Birmingham males, Birmingham female, Birmingham cub, Black Dam cub, and now this Skorro cub.
Pretty cool after the death of the white male cub from the Birmingham white female.
It's pretty obvious that the Mongawane got their white gene from the Birmingham pride, but how about the Skorro lioness? I remember reading the possibility of the Skorro pride being a Birmingham Breakaway due to Bus being seen with the pride ( dunno if it's true ), but there's also the fact the N.Matimba fathered cubs there, maybe the 9 Skybeds too? And did the Orpen males sired any daughters there as well? Many possibilities for how they got white genes on their bloodline.
There's the Mbiri males as well, but I'm not sure any of their daughters is currently with the pride, but any would be an adult by now.
Saw it yesterday and forgot to share it. I believe it's still unknown on which pride or coalition it's from so I'll just post here for the time being. Moderators feel free to move it once an identification is positively made.
