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.
