The White Lions of Timbavati

White lions, a genetic anomaly resulting in a recessive gene, are a rare and awe-inspiring sight. Their ethereal white coats and haunting blue eyes have captivated humans for centuries. However, their rarity made them a target for hunters, and by the early 20th century, their numbers dwindled alarmingly.

She carefully selected lions for breeding, ensuring genetic diversity and increasing the overall population.
