The oldest lioness in the Shishangaan Pride at over 15 years old. The Shishangaan Pride is the same pride that gave us the oldest living white lion in the wild, Casper, who is almost a decade old. Photographed by Rudi Hulshof at Singita, South Africa.

Happy Caturday! The newest #lion Superstar of the safari world has made an appearance at @singita_ Lebombo Lodge in the #krugernationalpark #repost from #wildographer & @singita_ super guide @rudihulshof “Born in the Shishangaan Pride of #lions, the new #whitelion is one of only 4 wild white lions that roam the African soils today. Speculation is rife as to who the fathers may be, but truth be told, this is something that could only be confirmed by DNA. For months the females of the pride have mated with; The two Trichard Males, 3 of the Satara Males, the Maputo Male and possibly even Shish Males. Yes they have been accepted by the 2 Trichard males, but there is no reason any of the remaining males would not do the same, all believing they are, (and having the same chance of being) the Father. 50% of Lion cubs do not reach a year old, and increases to 80% that cannot survive up to two years old. To continue the legacy of: known #white recessive gene carrying lions, we all hope this cub is going to be one of the 20% that could reach adulthood. Quick growth and easy food for the next couple months is a virtual guarantee as we move into Impala lambing season, and the female can provide regular meals to the developing cubs. Each month survived increases their chance of reaching adulthood. @sigmaphoto_sa Gear: - #Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports Lens on Nikon D850 Body. #Wildography #wildlifephotos #rudihulshof #safari #wildlife #singita #bigcatswildlife #oursingita #krugerexplorer #wildlife_perfection #african_portraits #capturethewild #discoverwildpaws #animalelite #wildestafrica #featured_wildlife #wildographyandsafaris #all_animals_addiction #wildlifefriend #wildlifeplanet #WildlifeiG (at Singita Lebombo Lodge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkS-CxssUzL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A young #elephant calf seeks shelter under his mother in the Singita #Grumeti Reserves, a conservatory adjacent to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. #Singita Grumeti Reserves are an integral part of the #Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem, the home of the Great Migration. Young calves go under their mothers for a feeling of protection and comfort and, of course, to nurse. @SINGITA_ #singitagrumetifund #saveelephants#retetielephants #stoppoaching #africa #everydayafrica #nikonusa #nikonlove #nikonnofilter #nikonambassador #tanzania #nikond7500 #photojournalism #amivitale @natgeo @natgeocreative @thephotosociety @nikonusa @nature_africa
