Methodist Park Natalia Dudin said that many people believe the existence of white lions myth. Indeed, in the nature of these animals - very few. And afford to keep them in a zoo can only a few countries. White Lions are in zoos in Philadelphia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Malaysia and Ukraine. In Russia, the white lions could look only at the zoo Udmurtia.

"Now they are there and we arrived they had with individual tags - microchips. Wonderful lion cubs - a girl and a boy. They were both on the year, and, a year filled with the lion on the day after their arrival, ie, February 10, - said Natalia.

The representative of the park reported that the lions took off from South Africa on February 6 normal passenger plane and were in the cargo hold. None of the passengers had no idea who flies with them. For almost three days journey, they made two landings: in Dubai and Domodedovo. At this time the animals were only given to drink.

"Negotiations on the purchase of a pair were still in May last year. Ability to contain such animals - is, first of all, a great success, but at the same time, a huge responsibility. It's great that visitors to our zoo will be able to see these unique animals, and we hope that they (the lions) get a strong, friendly couple and always will be the offspring, "- said the representative of the zoo.

The zoo said that currently the lions do not have names, and have not even thought to call them, neisklyucheno that will be advertised.

Currently, white lion cubs have adapted and began to explore a new place. "He lives a couple together, very amicably and quietly behave. Lack of appetite does not suffer," - added Natalie.

Since ancient times, many African tribes revere the white lion as a messenger from above, as the image of God on earth and the most sacred animal of the shroud. These lions were worshiped them guarded, and the killing of this animal, even inadvertent, is equivalent to sacrilege, for which of the killer meant the car.
