White African Lion
Lions are the only members of the cat family to display obvious sexual dimorphism – that is, males and females look distinctly different.
They also have specialised roles that each gender plays in the pride. For instance, the lioness, the hunter, lacks the male’s thick mane.
The color of the male’s mane varies from blond to black, generally becoming darker as the lion grows older. During confrontations with others, the mane makes the lion look larger. Weights for adult lions range between 150–250 kg (330–550 lb) for males and 120–182 kg (264–400 lb) for females.
Lions tend to vary in size depending on their environment and area, lions in southern Africa tend to be about 5 percent heavier than those in East Africa.
- Timbavati South Africa
- Canned Hunting Explanation: In South Africa organizations farm Lions to have cubs. These cubs are used to make money with photo sessions and interaction.
- These cats are raised by hand and become affectionate to humans. After the cub reaches a certain adult size perhaps 200lbs they are sold for 60k-80k and put in an enclosure.
- The purchaser is given a rifle and shoots the lion. Takes the lion home stuffed as a trophy.
- All our White Lions were saved from Canned Hunting making a total of 6 here at the zoo.
- Working with organizations saved a total of 16
In Africa, lions can be found in savanna grasslands with scattered Acacia trees which serve as shade; their habitat in India is a mixture of dry savanna forest and very dry deciduous scrub forest.
Lions are powerful animals that usually hunt in coordinated groups and stalk their chosen prey. However, they are not particularly known for their stamina – for instance, a lioness’ heart makes up only 0.57 percent of her body weight.
They take advantage of factors that reduce visibility; many kills take place near some form of cover or at night. They sneak up to the victim until they reach a distance of around 30 metres (98 ft) or less.
The lioness is the one who does the hunting for the pride, since the lioness is more aggressive by nature. The male lion usually stays and watches its young while waiting for the lionesses to return from the hunt.
The prey consists mainly of large mammals, with a preference for wildebeest, impalas, zebras, buffalo, and warthogs in Africa and nilgai, wild boar, and several deer species in India. Many other species are hunted, based on availability.

Unfortunately, there was not a lion cub for me to hold, but we made up for it holding several reptiles, and a few different monkeys. I would highly recommend coming here to see the different animals and would highly recommend Michael the tour guide as the leader of the tour!"-VISITED JANUARY 2021
