Anyone know anything of the last white lion, that reverted to normal color? Could it perhaps be the one that was born at the Henry Doorly Zoo? Also, the cub just opened its left eye. Edit: a link answering my question. http://m.lufkindailynews.com/news/c...2a8-4e9d-11e6-bfc2-834297c5d558.html?mode=jqm
Interestingly, the zoo has a breeding pair of bay duikers behind the scenes. A calf was born 15 days ago.
Fascinating! I wonder how many they have and why they are breeding them, and if any other zoos are as well.
