White Lion

White lions, a rare genetic variant of the African lion (Panthera leo), are typically found in and around the Greater Timbavati region of South Africa. Though not migratory in the conventional sense, lions, including white lions, exhibit seasonal movements influenced by prey availability and environmental conditions.

During the dry season, white lions often follow herds of migratory herbivores, such as wildebeests and zebras, to ensure a steady food supply. These movements are essential for their survival in the harsh savannah environment. White lions’ rarity and their reliance on specific ecosystems make them vulnerable to habitat loss and poaching. Conservation efforts focused on maintaining migratory prey populations and protecting their habitats are crucial for preserving these majestic animals.
