White lion

White Lions are located in South Africa in some Wildlife reserves such as Sanbona. Regarded as divine by locals, White Lions are introuced to the world in 1970, and it's population number had declined sharply. Today, there are a few dozens left in the world and they are protected in wildlife reserves.

The White Lion's coat gives it a distinct disadvantage over normal lions since the white coat would give it away when it is hunting.

There is a recessive gene in white lions that gives them their unusual color (also causing white tigers, many white tigers with this gene are bred for zoos and animal shows).
