Rare White Lion Cub Spotted In South Africa

A wildlife photographer has recently came across an extremely rare white lion cub. Lyle McCabe, 30, was visiting the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa, when spotted the unusual cub. The white baby lion was playing with its mother and the other of its siblings.



Even though, for now the cub's family seems to accept him, it might face some big challenges in the future due to its rare condition. Leucism, just as albinism, melanism, or other genetic conditions, made the individuals extremely vulnerable in front of predators. They are also frequently rejected by their own groups and families, due to their odd looking.
