Casper the White Lion and his Shishangaan Brothers are turning ten years old in June / July 2024.
White lions are rare since the mating female and male must both carry a recessive gene termed leucism in order to create a white lion cub. The likelihood of both lions carrying this gene is exceedingly low, which is why these palecolored lions with blue eyes are so unique.
The guides referred to this newborn white cub as "The white ghost of the Lebombo Mountains," and he was quickly given the name Casper The White Lion of the Lebombo Mountains.
Casper grew up among eight other young male lions born into the Shishangaan Pride at the same time as him.
These nine "Brothers" forged a very special connection with one another and would later leave the pride together to begin their nomadic existence in pursuit of their own pride.
In 2018, the nine Shish Brothers, as they were then known, began their nomadic journey northeast in the direction of an area near Satara Rest Camp in Kruger Park. Watch all the drama.
