Four white lions come outside for the first time after 10 weeks in quarantine in Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, the Netherlands, about 55 miles southeast of Amsterdam, on February 11, 2011. The lions are descendants of the rare white lions in the Timbavati Game Reserve in South Africa. The male, Credo, is seven months old and the females, Ilanga, Bhandura and Luna, are ten months old.

Beautiful!
I wonder why the one of the far left has two pink spots on its shoulder. Any ideas?
Maybe vaccinations? Or some kind of medication?
They are so beautiful...it's a shame they must be caged to survive...they certainly look well fed!
They are lovely
Amy, Ilanga came out of quarantine just in time to see the Grammy's and became a Pink fan.
All three of the lioness's take pride in Credo-bility.
No lie-on.
I bet that's it. Certainly a Pink fan :)
