Through its social media platforms, Dubai Municipality has invited young children to name two rare white cubs that were born in Dubai Safari Park.
Winners will receive valuable gifts and an exclusive visit to Dubai Safari with their parents. A short film showed the two rare male and female white cubs and invited children to choose the right names for them after they were born earlier this month at Dubai Safari.
They are in good health and are taken care of by their mother. The civic body said the cubs are under the supervision of doctors and specialists.
Eng. Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said the competition was launched to encourage community participation, engage children with animals and educate them about rare animal breeds.
He noted that since children are an essential segment of the society, they will be targeted through Dubai Safari's different educational and entertainment programs.
Children are invited to send the suggested male and female names to Dubai Municipality's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
White lions breed naturally in the wild, unlike white tigers. The lions born come originally from Timbavati region of South Africa.
White lions are of the same yellow-brown breed located in South-East Africa as Panthera Leo Krogeri, which is found in most of the reserves in South Africa and in zoos all over the world.
Although rare, white lions have not yet been classified as endangered because biologists still consider them as yellowish browns.
