Life in Zambia’s remote Luangwa Valley falls in step with the seasonal rhythms. For nearly half of the year, vegetation flourishes as the region is flooded with rain.

Pointer mix Lejon, two, and three-week-old lion cub Jojo are inseparable since meeting at the Safari Park in Stukenbrock in north-west Germany.

JoJo was initially separated from his mother because of a belly button infection but when carers tried to reunite the pair, she shunned him

Park worker Jeanette Wurms.: ‘After days of treatment we were not sure wether the mother would accept her baby.

‘So for safety reasons we are handraising and bottle feeding. I am glad that Jojo has found something like a step father and step brother in my playful and loving pointer-mongrel Lejon.’

 

She added: ‘Now he gets fed by hand by me and gets the paternal affection he needs from Lejon.

‘The dog is very patient. Jojo scrambles all over him, jumps on his head, bites his fur. But he doesn’t mind – he’s a very patient surrogate.’

White lions are not albinos but are leucistic. They have pigment visible in the eyes, paw pads and lips.

The leucistic trait is due to a recessive gene that inhibits the deposition of pigment along the hair shaft, restricting it to the tips. A similar gene also produces white tigers.

The less pigment there is along the hair shaft, the paler the lion. As a result ‘white’ lions range from blonde through to near white.

The males have pale manes and tail tips instead of the usual dark tawny or black.

Testicle Eating Fish Video

In animals, Interesting and funny on July 22, 2012 at 17:56

 

Men in the area of Litchfield, Ill., may want to stay on dry land.

A fisherman caught a ‘testicle-eating fish‘ at Lake Lou Yaeger, according to video from WGN News. Photos of the fish, called a pacu, reveal human-like teeth.

The fish, also reportedly nicknamed a ‘ball cutter,’ has been tied to the deaths of two men in New Guinea who had their testicles bitten off.
