Tswalu and Kalahari, two white lion cubs, grow up in the Kruger National Park under the watchful eyes of their mother, Matimba, and their aunt, Khanya. Since the first documentation of white lions in 1975, only three have survived to adulthood. Their distinctive white fur, while striking, poses risks in the wild.
