2021 was a very good year for Casper, his Brothers AND visitors to Kruger National Park's Satara Rest-camp area.
It seems that the Brothers have made the Satara region their territory and are spotted regularly around the camp.
During 2021 we recorded the most sightings EVER of Casper and his Brothers! Especially during the latter parts of the year.
Thank you Casper and Brothers for entertaining us during 2021 with your magnificent presence!
We wish Casper and his Brothers AND the Satara Lionesses a healthy, safe and fertile 2022 - Hopefully we will be blessed with a White Lion Cub or two in the new year?
The reason why white lions are so incredibly rare is because the mating female and the male must both possess the recessive gene called leucism in order to produce a white lion cub. The likelihood of both lions having this gene is extremely uncommon, which is why these pale-coloured lions are so special.
We also extend our best wishes to all our viewers!
Watch this video to see some of the sightings of the famous 'Shish Brothers' recorded during 2021.
Casper the White Lion is ONE of only THREE White Lions currently alive in the wild.
Casper and his three Brothers: Casanova, Footloose and Mfowethu control the Satara Pride and are often seen around Satara Rest-camp.
The other two White Lions - Brother and Sister - are from the Birmingham Pride and their territory are in the Ngala Private Game Reserve to the west of Kruger National Park some 60 Km west of Satara.
Sometimes the two Birmingham White Lions wanders into Kruger Park close to Orpen Rest-camp area.
Casper and his Brothers were born into the Shishangaan Pride and fathered by Xihamham and his Brother 'Old Grumpy' about 7.5 years ago.
