Iran Press/ Iran news: The cubs feed on their mother's milk. The gender of the lion cubs cannot be determined at this moment. Because no one comes close to them and their mother so they don't get stressed.
Dena and Hira, the White lioness and lion, were brought to Iran from South Africa three years ago.
White lions are endangered animals and the birth of these four white lion cubs in Karaj Park is considered an important and promising event in the field of wildlife.
White lions are part of the general classification of lions, Panthera leon. They are not albinos; they lack tawny coloration due to a rare condition that results in reduced pigmentation. Because of their majestic appearance, they have been revered as sacred beings by tribes in southern Africa, but have also been hunted to extinction in the wild. They are now being reintroduced in protected areas by the Global White Lion Protection Trust.
The natural habitat of a white lion includes savannas, woodlands, and desert areas. They are indigenous to the Greater Timbavati region in southern Africa and are currently protected at Central Kruger Park in South Africa. After being hunted to extinction in the wild, white lions were reintroduced in 2004. With the ban on trophy hunting in the Timbavati region and surrounding nature preserves, the first white cubs were born in the area in 2006. Kruger Park had its first occurrence of white lion cub births in 2014.
