Are White Lions Albino?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • White lions are not albino; they have a recessive gene for leucism.
  • Leucism reduces pigmentation but eyes are typically blue or normal.
  • True albino lions would have pink eyes and no pigment.
  • White lions are rare and found only in the Timbavati region.
