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.

I don’t believe them to actually be whites,,,but rather pale.   They have black ears and black tail tips.  I do not think Whites do

Yes, probably not.  The female most likely does not have the white gene, but most, if not all, of her cubs could have inherited the white gene.  They do seem paler than usual.  Just like some brown-eyed people have paler, almost greenish or hazel color eyes, but do carry the blue-eyed gene to potentially pass it on.

1 of 7 Satara Boys is also very pale/caramel, he is in the same area, so there might be some "paleish" gene in the area.

Finally the four Shishangaan Brother have settled down!
It seems that after the three cubs were born, Casper and his Brothers waved their nomadic ways goodbye?
We caught up with the three cute cubs fathered by Casper and his Brothers (No, they are NOT white) where their mom have hidden them in tall grass.
It was not long before the four famous Lion Brothers appeared on the scene and later, at sunset, the whole compliment of Lionesses of the Satara Pride joins them in the road close to where the cubs were hidden.
I'm not sure whether the Brothers will stick with this pride, or will they go on looking for another Pride to Conquer.
My feeling is that they will keep on roaming the Savanna around Satara and try and Conquer as many Prides as they can.
Just please stay safe in your ventures Casper and Brothers.
Filmed on the H6 in Kruger National Park.
Note - Casper is only one of three white Lions currently alive in the wild.

Young Shish males today
"4 males, one white lion, 3 males went in the bush. One male got separated from the others and walks around on the junction. He goes in and out of the bush calling."
Today on H7, moved to S100. Credit: Licinia
