I had an amazing privilege this weekend. I got to play with white lion cubs. Getting to touch and interact one on one with lion cubs is rare enough, but white lions even more so! I had to remind myself that this kind of experience is shared by only a very few and I’m extremely grateful to have had this opportunity. Also got to see a tigers, cheetah and more! Happy days!
Thanks to to my friends who took me. Glad we choose the lion park in the end 🙂
Lucky you! I know this is a bit of a weird question, but did they smell? And I don’t mean nasty!
To continue ……….. if you were blind folded, could you tell what creature was in your arms?
Not at all actually! Now I don’t know if that’s because they in a clean enviroment, that they clean themselves or of they people that care for them clean them. Perhaps all three 🙂 I know full grown lions are incredibly smelly, particularly their breath! But then if you getting to smell a full grown lions breath I think you may have “bigger” problems 😉
Tough one! I’d like to think so, especially when they biting your fingers!! But I’m not sure.
Lucky you!!!
Lion cubs are incredibly cute.Nice post boet makes me miss home.
Thanks Sascha! Was a real treat that was. Guessing you all back safe, will be in touch soon to hear about the adventures!
Trayl, ya Boet, I hear you. Make a trip to London Zoo, it’s pretty good but perhaps it will make you miss Africa more. Nice to be “closer” to nature for a bit though. They been doing a lot of renovations to make the enviroment better for the animals. The gorilla’s are amazing there and they have a breeding pack of African wild dogs too! Very rare!
Aaah! Lucky you! Where can I get one? 🙂
How come they are white? Are they actually albino?
Actually now Ive watched the film footage I can see they are not albino as their eyes are not pink.
Hey Jon, off the top of my head I think it’s just a genetic variation, so not albino as such just a different colour. I think you can buy one from them, but I think the missus might have something to say about the price tag! 😉 Hope you all well otherwise. B
