Lions have always mesmerised me, and this magnificent white African lion is no exception.
Found mainly in South Africa, these lions are not albinos, however the genes responsible for them are diff from the genes that cause white tigers.
Due to their rarity, these naturally found lions have been removed from their habitats and are now mostly only found in captivity. They are being slowly reintroduced though and contrary to popular belief the ‘whiteness’ is not a hinderance in the wild and they are as effective predators as their tawny cousins.

After waiting a couple of hours in sub-zero temperatures at sun down, it was exciting to find coyotes living a stones throw from my place. The bad news; is that he stayed out of range of a 750mm lens, and that’s also the good news, as it is clear that they try to avoid humans, yet co-exist.
