One of the few remaining wild white lions in the Little Karoo area of South Africa. These lions are not albinos, but a genetic rarity which produces their light fur and unique eye color. The gene is carried by tawny lions and white cubs occur in the litters that pass along the gene. The White Lion Trust has been instrumental in campaigning to have all lions better protected throughout South Africa and have been reintroducing both white and tawny lions back into their natural habitats in some limited locations to study them.
