Witte leeuwen zijn een van de meest zeldzame dieren in de wereld. Hun vacht is stralend wit en hun ogen kleuren felblauw. Daarmee onderscheiden ze zich van hun bruingele soortgenoten. Het is geen albino-variant maar een kleurvariant. Door hun kleur vallen ze natuurlijk hartstikke op en hebben ze in de vrije natuur geen schijn van kans. Het benaderen van hun prooi is door hun sneeuwwitte vacht slecht mogelijk en door hun opvallendheid zijn ze ook een aantrekkelijke trofee voor de jacht.

The white lion is a rare colour mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri) found in some wildlife reserves in South Africa and in zoos around the world. White lions are not a separate subspecies and are thought to be indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries, although the earliest recorded sighting in this region was in 1938. Regarded as divine by locals,   white lions first came to public attention in the 1970s in Chris McBride's book The White Lions of Timbavati. They are not albinos

L'allèle responsable de la mutation est récessif, si bien que les lions blancs restent rares dans la nature et seul un couple de lions blancs peut avoir des lionceaux blancs à coup sûr ; il arrive que des lionceaux blancs naissent de lions normaux à Timbawati et dans le parc national de Kruger. La plus grande population de lions blancs se trouve dans les zoos, où ils sont élevés dans le but de perpétuer leur couleur, ce qui présente des risques de consanguinité  Weiße Löwen zählen zu den seltensten Tiere der Welt. Einzig durch ihre Fellfarbe und ihre blauen Augen unterscheiden sie sich von ihren braungelben Artgenossen. Im Safaripark leben weiße Tiere und Mischlinge aus braungelben und weißen Löwen einträchtig in Rudeln zusammen. LINKS Germany HERE
