South Africa comes to Hemmingford

My new pet :P

Today was the official ceremony to present our new white lions to the medias and public. Even with the rain, more than 1000 people came to see it, plus 6 tv stations, from Quebec and the USA!

It was nice, everybody was happy and there should be a good amount of Parc Safari in the news this week :P

Linda Tucker talked about her organization in South Africa that protects the white lions (see here for the web site) and how great it is to have Parc Safari as a partner in the breeding program. In the next few years, our lions should have cubs, and some of them will be sent to the Timbavati Game Reserve, to live in a wild, but protected, environment. (Which might mean a trip to SA for me!!! woohoo!)

Those lions are so magnificent! There is all sort of stories and legends about them. You can found the most common ones on the net, but also in Linda's book Mystery of the White Lions.
