White coat and dark eyes: rare lions bring hundreds of visitors to Zoo in Guatemala

SIC Notícias10 September 2026 at 12:12

Rare white lions are attracting hundreds of visitors to a zoo in Guatemala. These are African lions (Panthera leo), a species that is already considered rare for being classified as "vulnerable". However, the animals at the Guatemalan zoo have a special genetic condition that makes them even more unique: leucism. This genetic condition manifests through white coat and dark eyes, characteristics that differentiate these lions from the others. The combination of factors - the vulnerability of the species and the visual rarity of the white lions - has been responsible for attracting the large public to the zoo.

Is There an Ideal Body Fat Percentage for Women? What Ana Castela's Case Shows

Ana Castela's physical transformation, which reduced her body fat percentage from 20.4% to 14.4%, sparked debates on social media about women's health. The 22-year-old singer publicly celebrated the result but faced speculation about anabolic steroid use, which she denied. Experts consulted by the publication stated that there is no universal ideal body fat percentage for women, as factors such as age, body composition, health history, diet, exercise routine, and measurement method should be considered individually, warning that pursuing a specific number can be harmful.
