The rarest, most expensive and most beautiful animal in the world ... the white lion
The white lion is a unique form with a hereditary condition known as whiteness, which makes its skin dull.
The existence of white lions was not certain until the end of the twentieth century, for hundreds of years past, it was believed that the story of their existence and all the news and information that came about them were nothing but fabricated myths circulating in South Africa, where it was said that the white color of the animal represented kindness in all creatures.
The first reports of seeing these animals were received in the early twentieth century in 1928, and some people mentioned that they had seen white lions in 1940 and 1959, until white cubs were found in the Timbavati private game reserve in 1975.
The number of white lions is unknown, but their number in zoos in 2004 AD: only 30.
The white color of the white lion causes a problem related to hunting, as its color may exposeit to the prey, unlike the natural lionsthat camouflage completely with its surroundings.The unusual color of the lion is the result of a genetic mutation of the lion species known for their tawny lions, and this species has been preserved by selective breeding of certain species in zoos.The white lion is not albino, but the reason for its white color is due to a type of recessive gene that is completely different from the albinism gene, which is the same gene responsible for the white colorThe white lion is not an albino, but the reason for its white color is due to a type of recessive gene that is completely different from the albinism gene, which is the same gene responsible for the white colorWhite lions are not considered a speciesIndependent of itself, the Timbavati region has settled in South Africa for several centuries, and there these lions are bred for the main reason which is hunting them, as there are camps dedicated to mating and breeding white lions, and they are not allowed to mate with other species of lions for the purpose of preserving the color, and as a result of the mating of relatives. This resulted in cases of white lions suffering from paralysis of the hind limbs and others suffering from heart diseases.
