Description
When: October 27, 2018
Where: Mondo Verde Landgraaf, The Netherlands
Sometimes, mother Lion seems a bit strict, but she's also a very caring mother. She loves to make sure her babies are clean, and she always goes in where they least expect it - or want it. This looks like a rough moment, but it was still gentle, and actually very sweet
Species: Southeast African, Transvaal or Kalahari Lion (Witte leeuw)
Latin name: Panthera Leo Krugeri syn. Panthera Leo Melanochaita
Originates from southern Africa, rangingfrom southern Namibia to southeastern Mozambique.
Did you know:
…Southeast African Lion are a subspecies of the African Lion.
…White Lions are a color mutation of Transvaal Lions. This is called leucism, and in Lions it only occurs in this particular subspecies.

Yes, she was - they can be rough for sure, but this was a lot softer than you'd think with those huge claws
