Rome, (askanews) – Five white lions, an exceptional birth for Malindi, this white lioness from the Amnéville zoo in France. They were born on April 12 at La Flèche zoo where both Malindi and the cubs’ father, Bouba, grew up. Giving birth is all the more important because the white lion, a genetic mutation of the South African lion from the Timbavati reserve, has become very rare.
