It is understood that the white lion was first found in South Africa, and some scientists have studied and deduced that the white lion may have made a species in ancient times, which once lived in the ice and snow area of the Arctic, and gradually disappeared with the evolution of later organisms, but the white fur gene in the white lion is rarely stored in the yellow African lion.

At present, in the wild in South Africa, from time to time there are yellow African teachers and students who produce white lions, but this is not albinism, but the descendants of genetic mutations of African lions, but the cause of genetic mutations is not clear. (Photo attributed: IC photo)
When hunting, it is easy to be spotted by prey and flee in time. Therefore, the white lion is often starved to the belly, because survival has become a big problem, later, many African white lions were artificially raised in zoos, because the number of white lions in the world is only more than a hundred, so it is even rarer and more precious.
