mamrizzio: White lions are not albinos. They are also not a different species of lion. Their condition is known as 'leucism,' a rarity where a recessive mutation in the gene causes the lion's coat to vary from near-white to blonde, rather than the common tawny. They are found in just one place on Earth.
