Sanbona has been running a White Lion reintegration program since 2003 whereby they procured 2 white lions in order to get them to breed with tawny lions. This project will teach them to hunt and to survive in nature. Breeding with the tawny lions also ensures the genetic integrity of the white lion as they have traditionally been inbred on breeding farms.
The reason for this blog is not a lesson in white lion lore but to let you know that Sanbona announce the successful release of an integrated lion pride. This includes 2 male and 2 young female white lions. This pride now roams the 40000 hectares of wild and is being monitored closely. They are doing well and although they do separate they always return to the pride. Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is the perfect hunting ground for these beauties.
What a great feel good story for a Tuesday morning.
