White lion


















               The white lion can be found in the Kruger National Park region
               and the greater Timbavati area. You can also find the maneless
               lions in the Timbavati area.
               The colour is because of a condition called leucism
               which causes the colour to range from blonde to near
               white.
               Leucism is a condition with a partial loss of pigmentation
               resulting in white or pale or patchy skin, but does not
               affect the eyes.







               Activities between lions






























               Both male and female lions can interact in same sex activities. Male lions will rub their heads
               together, roll around with each other before simulating sex.
