Numerous zoos and conservation organizations have initiated breeding projects for white lions to enhance the limited populations in captivity. Such moves are important for ensuring that this beautiful species does not go extinct anytime soon.
In early December, the zoo of Las Delicias in Maracay, Venezuela, received its first ever white lion cubs. Two males and one female were born here, marking a significant achievement for this zoo and an important milestone for wildlife conservation in Venezuela.

Since mother lions may harm their cubs in captivity, zoo staff often hand-rear them for safety.
Staff members are carefully watching over these adorable little creatures around the clock. They provide intensive care, including manually feeding them with milk bottles. The team also monitors all their activities and ensures they receive plenty of love.
