Lion cuties line up for crown

KNOWN as the little gangsters, these five extremely rare white lion cubs are now nine months old.

Although their parents are from Johannesburg Zoo in South Africa, the five youngsters are all Aussie born and bred. Their home is a private zoo at Mogo near Batemans Bay on the South Coast.

They are five of only 300 white lions known to exist in the world - all of them in captivity.

White lions, which were once bred for hunting in South Africa, have been officially extinct in the wild for more than a decade.

A pair of cubs was spotted near the famous Kruger National Park last year but have not been seen since.

A dozen of the world's 300 known white lions are at Mogo Zoo, including the five boys born in February.

Daniel,

Mmmm, Mogo Zoo is pretty close to Canberra (if you call 2 hours away close -
we in Canberra tend to think of that part of the South Coast of NSW as close!).

You got a thing happenin' down there or what!? You putting in naming rights, sponsorship proposals, etc, etc.?

MaroonBoy :p
