June 5, 2009: White Lions
 
White Lions, not albino but white fur and blue eyes, were technically extinct in Africa.
They're considered sacred by the native tribes, but a prized trophy by big game hunters, and they were almost wiped out.
The Global White Lion Trust gathered the remaining cats and have been breeding them in captivity. Now they are ready to
release the second pride back into the wild.

Quote:

"Our team, led by Jason Tuner, has worked tirelessly to ensure the lions are ready for their reintroduction and the tagging
is an important part of the process as it will help to monitor the pride's hunting behaviour."

The Cubs are fitted with tracking systems under their skin so growth can be monitored.

I'm sure these cats will be tracked/monitored to the max, and good luck to them.:thumb2:

They tag them so if they come accross them in the wild they know if they have the white ones or the wrong ones. :eyebrow:

Aliantha 06-05-2009 03:04 AM

lol...nice one Beltnah.

Those animals are beautiful. I wonder what sort of precautions they have taken to keep them away from poachers.

I hope they survive. The world needs more beauty.

Skylight 06-05-2009 03:55 AM

Didn't De Klerk and Mandela get rid of the White Lines in Africa? They're gonna be pissed.

Laurie Henderson 06-05-2009 08:29 AM

Wait. . . Wait. . . I never had a chance...

Sheldonrs 06-05-2009 08:48 AM

Kind of a switch. No coloring inside the lions. :D

Shawnee123 06-05-2009 09:27 AM

It seems to me that there was another rare feline called
Teralon, the dotted lion.

Shawnee123 06-05-2009 12:49 PM

And don't forget Lambert, the Sheepish Lion!

Welcome blueboy.

DanaC 06-05-2009 12:53 PM

Well hello blueboy. Welcome to the cellar.

SteveDallas 06-05-2009 01:26 PM

Threads like this are the mane reason I can't eat lunch while reading The Cellar.

blueboy56 06-05-2009 01:47 PM

If you are implying that there is something distasteful about snorting macaroni and cheese, just ask my two year old grandson.
(And thank you for the pleasant welcome)

Pie 06-05-2009 02:47 PM

Steve, you're just lion to yourself.

ETA: what, cat got your tongue?

ZenGum 06-05-2009 06:28 PM

:lol: at you all.

sweetwater 06-05-2009 09:15 PM

They're back?

ETA: my 1,000th post! Now I wish I had put more thought into it and come up with something better.

ZenGum 06-05-2009 10:26 PM

Congratulations Sweetwater! You're a kiloposter now!

Clodfobble 06-05-2009 11:14 PM

At last! Der Ubertiger!

Shawnee123 06-08-2009 06:57 PM

I want to be a baby white tiger minder!

Clodfobble 06-09-2009 10:08 PM

I have never seen a zoo worker wear that much makeup. Usually those types of people are more... practical, I guess.

Probably to cover up the white tiger scratches.
