Sleepy White Lion

Description

Yesterday my family and I went to the Toronto Zoo, and we saw their new white lions. I loved seeing them! They were so cute. But they walk a bit awkwardly.


:bulletwhite:White Lion Info::bulletwhite:
The white lion is a rare colour mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera Leo Krugeri). Their white colour is caused by a recessive gene. White Lions have been said to be indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries. Based on available evidence, The Global White Lion Protection Trust estimate there are roughly 300 White Lions worldwide.

The Toronto Zoo has three.

In 1928 was the first siting of a White Lion.

1994 was the last time they were seen in the wild.
