It is believed in some African cultures that the White lion is the God of the Sun. Looking at these magnificent creatures it seems easy to believe.

I have never seen a lion looking so cute.
  Kids don't pet the lions. They are not cute.

Taken at a Predator Park in South Africa called Jukani. He's such a lovely lion, and i trusted him, so i went right up to him and took the photo while he was cleaning his paw :)
