All About White Lion Cubs

4/3/2020

White Lion Cubs
Normally nature does not create any animals white in the desert and forest animal kingdom. As the color white is rarely apart of natures color code for animals not belonging to a cold climate.  When certain animals that are not naturally white born white it is due to a color mutation.  White animals are reserved for cold atmospheric conditions as it helps them to blend into there surroundings. Take a look at the polar bear and arctic fox for example.

White lion cubs are not natural color for these animals. White lion cubs are not albinos. Their white color is due to a recessive trait coming from a less severe mutation in the same gene which causes albinism, which is different from the gene which brings about the white tiger. 

This white coloration does not appear to pose a disadvantage to their survival. The white lions have been successfully reintroduced into their natural habitat and have been hunting and breeding  without human intervention for a significant amount of time.

White lions are native to South Africa, but only a handful remain in the wild. White lions have a life expectancy of 16.8 years when living in a zoo, according to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.

​White lions can  be selectively bred for zoos, animal shows and wildlife parks. Such breeding involves inbreeding and can result in inbreeding depression (genetic defects, reduced fertility, and physical defects), although this has not yet been found to cause hind-limb paralysis or serious heart defects, which would indicate a severe level of inbreeding.

Some are concerned about white lions mating with lions of other alleles, due to possible extinction of the white lion allele. However, this is not valid as the offspring will inherit the recessive white gene and therefore make it possible to produce white offspring in a later generation, thus making the allele more widespread.

Some critics maintain that white lions should not be introduced into the wild because of the inbreeding that has taken place in zoos and breeding camps. However, ethical reintroduction programs such as The Global White Lion Protection Trust have ensured through the use of scientific methodologies that the lions in their program are not inbred.

Pangolin Facts and Guide

2/7/2020

Pangolin
Pangolin
Pangolin is not a fruit as many people thought. It is actually an unusual mammal. Pangolins belong to the ant eater family.  They are scaly ant eaters of the order Pholidota. The one extant family, Manidae, has three genera: Manis, which comprises four species living in Asia; Phataginus, which comprises two species living in Africa; and Smutsia, which comprises two species also living in Africa.  
They are the only mammals wholly-covered in scales and they use those scales to protect themselves from predators in the wild.

Pangolin Gestation Period
  • Ground pangolin: 139 days
  •  Indian pangolin: 68 days
  • Tree pangolin: 127 days 
Female pangolins have a gestation period of five months and give birth to just one live baby. At birth, babies, called pangopups, are only about 6 inches (15.24 cm) long and weigh 12 ounces (340 grams), according to the African Wildlife Foundation. Their scales are pink and soft, but start to harden after a day.

Pangolin LifeSpan
The lifespan of a pangolin in the wild is unknown as they are shy creatures and are, therefore, quite difficult to study. However, some have been recorded to live as long as 20 years in captivity


Pangolins Eats 
Pangolins eat ants, termites and larvae and are often known as "the scaly anteater." Because they have no teeth, pangolins pick up food with their sticky tongues, which can sometimes reach lengths greater than the animal’s body.

Pangolins and Poaching
They certainly are one of the most trafficked mammals in Asia and, increasingly, Africa. Pangolins are in high demand in countries like China and Vietnam. Their meat is considered a delicacy and pangolin scales are used in traditional medicine and folk remedies. All eight pangolin species are protected under national and international laws. But there is still growing international illegal trade in pangolins.
Based on reported seizures between 2011 and 2013, an estimated 116,990-233,980 pangolins were killed, which represents only the tip of the trade. Experts believe that seizures represent as little as 10 percent of the actual volume in pangolins in illegal wildlife trade.

Pangolin and Corona Virus
It has been that people who have eaten the Pangolin meat ahve contracted the Corona Virus and the Pangolin is a natural carrier of the Virus. If so, is it a way for the harmless Pangolin to get revenge on us humans who eat its meat and hunt it and kill it for its tough armor?
