Animal Oddity - Photo of White Albino Lion
Pictured here in the Sanbona Game Reserve is one of four white lions recently released into the Sanbona Game Reserve in South Africa. The white lions were taken into captivity decades ago to protect them from poachers. Under a multimillion dollar conservation project, the lions are now being reintroduced to the wild.

Wow! It's my first time to see a male while lion! Gorgeous!
Oh wow this is such a nice animal. Never new about the Albino Lions. Thanks for sharing. Anna :)
They aren't Albino. They have a recessive gene that causes the coat colour to be white. They also have have blue/grey eyes, not red/pink eyes which is a characteristic of albinism.
Sam, Blue eyes is a recessive gene, and charactistically they have blue/grey eyes that appear red or pink in certain kinds of light.
Albino or not, it is a white Lion.
Very rare and beautiful animal.
Deffinately one of GOD's finner creations!
