Primul leu alb a produs nenumrate controverse n lumea iubitorilor de animale. Prerile erau
mprite: n timp ce unii au crezut c a aprut o nou specie de lei, alii au explicat apariia acestor
feline exotice n urma mutaiilor genetice. Leul alb, subspecie a Leului (lat. Panthera Leo Krugeri),
este ntlnit n rezervaiile naturale din Africa de Sud. Ulterior, n urma mperecherilor selective din
grdinile zoologice din lume, au aprut tot mai frecvent exemplare superbe de leu alb.
Dei leul este cunoscut drept regele nenfricat al junglei, leul alb e unul dintre cele mai
vulnerabile feline din savana african. Datorit culorii deschise, ce nu-i permite s se
camufleze, leul alb are o speran sczut de via. Adeseori are probleme n a vna i devine
o prad uoar pentru celelalte feline teritoriale.

Leii albi - creaturi divine

Locuitorii savanelor din Africa de Sud venereaz leii albi considerndu-i fiine divine. Prima
scriere legat de aceste feline uimitoare este "The White Lions of Timbavati", scris de Chris
McBride n anul 1970. Conform unei alte autoare, Linda Tucker, leii albi erau crescui n
rezervaii speciale din Africa de Sud pe post de trofee pentru vntori. Aceasta povestete n
cartea "Mystery of the White Lions - Children of the Sun God" modul n care triau aceste
animale altminteri feroce: multe asemenea "trofee" sufereau de probleme cu membrele, aveau
boli ale inimii, afeciuni cauzate de mperecherea ntre rude.
Cei mai muli lei albi sunt ntlnii n captivitate, n grdini zoologice, unde sunt crescui i
reprodui exclusiv pentru culoarea blnii. Conform unor informaii datate din anul 2004, n
lume existau 30 de lei albi n via. Desigur, numrul lor a crescut substanial n ultimii ani.
Dac v ntrebai ce anume face ca blana lor s fie alb, aflai c leii albi apar n urma unor
mutaii genetice cauzat de o gen recesiv denumit "chinchilla". Culoarea acestor feline
poate varia de la nuane de blond deschis, alb ca zpada sau chiar rocat.

Aceast gen este responsabil pentru culoarea deschis a blnii leilor albi. O gen similar
duce la apariia tigrilor albi. Prin urmare, leii albi sunt produi adeseori pentru spectacol i
profit.
Astfel de mutaii apar n urma mperecherilor leilor ce au aceeai linie genetic, lucru ce duce,
din pcate, i la defecte fizice sau psihice, lucru adesea ntlnit n rndul tigrilor albi.
Spre deosebire de exemplarele albino, leii albi au ochii albatri, pete nchise de culoare n
spatele urechilor, pe perniele de la picioare i au chiar un contur nchis al ochilor. Animalelor
albino le lipseste pigmentul de culoare, avand ochii rosii i pete rozalii.
Masculii msoar ntre 100 i 120 de cm, ajungnd s cntreasc i 260 de kg. Femelele sunt
mai micue, msoar doar 110 cm i ajung s cntreasc 125 de kg. Ating o vitez de 48-
59km/or.

Curioziti despre leii albi

Leii albi nu sunt albinoi! Au blana de culoare deschis din cauza unei gene recesive. n
regiunea Timbavati sunt cei mai muli lei albi.
Leii albi fac parte din specia Panthera Leo, adic leul slbatic. O echip de cercettori de la
Global White Lion Protection Trust ncearc s demonstreze importana clasificrii acestor
feline ntr-o categorie special.
Cele mai vechi informaii legate de leii albi dateaz din anul 1938, in regiunea Timbavati,
Africa de Sud. Totui, exist mrturii orale care atest prezena acestor feline uimitoare cu
mult nainte de anul 1938.
De la descoperirea acestor feline de ctre Occidentali, leii albi au fost vnai exclusiv pentru
blana lor i relocai cu fora n grdinile exotice private ale afaceritilor excentrici.
Ultima apariie a unui leu alb n natur a fost n anul 1994. Teoretic, de atunci leii albi au
disprut.
Nu exist nici o lege care s fac referite n mod exclusiv la protejarea leilor albi.
n lume exist n jur de 500 de lei albi care triesc n captivitate n grdini zoo sau n parcuri
amenajate special pentru protejarea acestora.

Trei pui de leu alb s-au nascut la Zoo Buenos Aires
Fun7 jan 2011, 00:00




Ingrijitorii de la Zoo Buenos Aires au prezentat publicului miercuri, pentru prima oara, trei
pui de leu alb nascuti in luna noiembrie.

Reprezentatii gradinii zoologice spun ca cele doua femele si masculul s-au nascut pe 16
noiembrie si sunt primii lei albi care s-au nascut in America de Sud. Copiii care viziteaza
gradina zoologica din Argentina pot lua parte la un concurs de nume pentru cele trei mici
feline.

Suntem foarte mandri. Nu exista prea multi lei albi nascuti la zoo, a declarat veterinarul
Miguel Rivolta pentru AP.

Intrucat ambii parinti sunt albi, puii lor au genele recesive care ii fac de un alb imaculat, a
explicat el.

Vizitatorii ii adora pe cei trei noi locatari ai gradinii, insa mamica lor nu este prea incantata de
turisti. Ea maraie si rage la public si isi duce puiutii cat mai departe de ochii oamenilor.

Trei leoaice albe Portia, Phoebe si Pandora s-au nascut, in urma cu trei luni, la West
Midland Safari Park din Worcestershire (Marea Britanie), numarandu-se in prezent
printre cei doar 130 de lei de aceasta culoare care
exista in intreaga lume, informeaza Daily Mail, in
editia online.
Cei trei pui de leu alb s-au nascut in urma cu trei luni
la West Midland Safari Park din Worcestershire si, de
curand, au inceput sa se plimbe prin parc, sub
supravegherea mamei lor, Natasha.

Cele trei leoaice albe au primit toate nume care incep cu P, de la personalul parcului, care
le-au avut in grija de la sosirea lor pe lume.
Cu o greutate de 15 kilograme fiecare, puii se alatura leilor albi aflati deja in parcul zoologic
britanic.
Acum au inceput sa iasa afara si caracterul li se dezvolta. Sunt extrem de jucausi cu ceilalti
membri ai grupului de lei, cu care au inceput sa se amestece, a declarat Angela Potter,
directorul adjunct al parcului.
Desi se joaca si se murdaresc rapid, Bob Lawrence, directorul parcului, spune ca puii adopta
tot mai mult comportamentul femelelor, avand trasaturi perfect formate, blana alba ca zapada
si o privire extrem de expresiva.
Cei trei pui de leu alb sunt sanatosi, se joaca cu mama lor si au fost foarte siguri pe picioarele
lor si atunci cand s-au aflat in fata oamenilor pentru prima oara. Leoaicele sunt extrem de
jucause si stau tot timpul impreuna cu mama lor. Sunt mai calme decat puii masculi, care tind
sa fie mai aventurosi, a adaugat el, precizand ca cei trei pui au atras interesul intregii lumi.
Oamenii vor sa-i vada, ei oferind o imagine extraordinara atunci cand sunt toti la un loc.
Timp de patru ani am fost cunoscuti pentru tigrii albi care se afla in parc, iar grupul nostru de
lei albi este singurul din Marea Britanie, a spus el.
Cele trei leoaice albe sunt primele nascute dupa ce, in urma cu patru ani, primii patru lei albi
au fost adusi in parc, in 2004. In prezent, parcul din Worcerstershire are cea mai mare
populatie de lei albi din Marea Britanie.
In ceea ce priveste leii albi, se crede ca majoritatea celor ramasi in libertate traiesc intr-un
areal de circa 300 de kilometri patrati in Africa de Sud.

A pride of rare white lions was released into the South African wilds, in an attempt to re-
establish the species in their natural habitat.
This was the second pride released in the last three years. The white lions were fitted with
radio tracking devices, used to monitor their hunting behavior and growth. They may look
like albinos, but their unusual color is the result of a unique gene. They are seen as the most
sacred animals by many tribes, but, because of poaching, only three white lion prides roam
free today.

Lounging gracefully in the long grass in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, these
majestic White Lions wait patiently for their release back into the wild.

The ghost-white lions will soon become the second pride in three years to take their first steps
to freedom in the greater Timbavati region of South Africa.

For Linda Tucker, left, of the Global White Lion Trust (WLT), their reintroduction will mark
a significant step forward in the bid to re-establish the rare White Lion back into its natural
habitat.

Jason Turner prepares the radio tracking collar with the help of Linda Tucker. "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
behavior."

The Staff struggle to load a Lioness onto a vehicle to be fitted with an internal transponder.

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

Staff prepare adult pride members for the fitting of internal trackers. "It is also important to be
able to track multiple lions in the pride to observe their hunting strategy, so as to compare
their hunting behavior with that of golden lions in the region," Linda explains.

Often mistaken for albino lions, their translucent fur and bright blue eyes are the product of a
rare gene, meaning they are seen by many, including tribal elders in Africa, as the most sacred
animal on the African continent.

However their beauty has made them a prized hunting trophy and following years of forced
removals into zoos and captive breeding camps around the world, the White Lion has become
technically extinct in the wild.

Unprotected by South African law, less than three prides are free-roaming in the wild.

With the release just days away Linda and her team know their task to protect these iconic
animals is only just underway...

"The White Lion must be protected not only because of its scientific value, but also its
cultural value," explains Linda.

"We also look forward to more natural births occurring in the region without human
intervention or interference."

The pride relax in the long grass only days away from their release back into the wild.

"There is a local belief that the white lions appear in times of great hardship, and they bring good
luck with them, surely a good omen for everyone at this time.
"To see a family of adult white lions in the wild that are self-sustaining and free-ranging is unheard
of.
"In these photos the white lions are showing natural lion behaviour, displaying differing levels of
curiosity and we all know how cats are associated with curiosity.
"Another obvious message that comes from the images is the strong bond between members of the
pride.
"This is demonstrated by the close proximity of the father to the cubs. These actions are aimed to
strengthen this bond.
the dominance of the male is obvious. His stately and proud stance staking his claim to his female, his
cubs and his territory.

"To watch young lions teasing, stalking and playfully chasing each other in the early morning sun is
quite something, especially unusual when they are white and in the wild."

The white lion family - including two adult males, two juvenile female lions and five cubs - now roam
freely in the semi-arid 120,000 acre Sanbone Wildlife Reserve.

"Since we released them they have being fending for themselves - it's fantastic," added Mr Vorster.
"There was great concern as to how the lions, especially the females, would fit into their new
environment.
"They adapted quickly however and worked out the location of optimum resources fairly soon after
their release.

"When these lions arrived they were completely humanised and relied on us for so many things. To
see their white offspring fending for themselves, having broken down the dependency and bond
between man and lion is very satisfying.
"What we are actually doing is securing the white lion gene in a safe natural environment where the
animals can roam free".
The Sanbona white lion project has created an integrated pride of white and tawny lions that can
sustain themselves in a completely natural environment.
Mr Vorster hailed the project as an 'astounding success' adding: "It's definitely an unbelievable
achievement".
"To 're-wild' lions that have had such close contact with humans is by no means an exact science," he
added.
"The fact that 18-month-old lionesses, that have not experienced much freedom until recently, are
self-sustaining is close to unbelievable and pleasantly shocking".
"It's been a long journey so to have the level of success that we've had is great."
