White Lions are not albino lions. Instead the white colour is caused by a recessive gene known as chinchilla or colour inhibitor. They vary from blonde through to near white. This colouration give white lions a distinct disadvantage in nature because they are highly visible which gives them away to their prey and makes them an attractive target for hunters.
Warm tone print with vintage border.
