A
white lion cub ladies and gentlemen. That’s right, a cute, fluffy ball of
cotton which made out of happiness that runs around Kruger National Park in
South Africa. Okay now, calm down, take a breath, stop staring at those
pictures and keep writing. I meant reading. Yes, you keep reading. I’m not
staring. You are staring.

You
know it’s very rare to even find a white lion. Not to say locating it,
traveling to the location and waiting patiently until they show up, It’s really
amazing McCabe was able to take these photos of the cub. Wild life photography
is no easy task my dear readers. But look the result.

Just
look at him running around with those tiny paws, playing with siblings, so
happy. I mean looking at these make me happy. Oh, by the way, I don’t know his
gender. But I cannot call something this adorable ‘it’. It looks like a ‘he’ to
me so I’m going with ‘he’. If you feel like it should be ‘she’, by all means, replace
my all ‘he’s with ‘she’s.

Another
thing, if you are thinking “Is he albino?” and same time you feel like
something’s off with that thought; you’re absolutely right my friend. He is no
albino. His color is a result of pigmentation loss. It’s a genetic condition.

According
to McCabe he had had the information about these cubs for months but he
couldn’t visit more sooner due to some private reasons. Though I’m pretty sure
he is glad he finally made the trip. I know I’m glad he made that trip
otherwise I would never witness this happiness.

Shall
we take a moment to admire McCabe’s photography? I meant the fact that he
didn’t only captured the white lion cub but also his siblings, their
affectionate to each other, the lioness or other cubs doesn’t treat our white
cub differently regarding the fact that he looks different. Just magnificent
isn’t it.
If
you ever decided to witness this adorable for yourself just remember to give them
our love.
