TEASER SHJ-1614767733767 — A trainer throws a ball towards two white lions. White lions are not albinos. Their unique hair and skin pigmentation are caused by a recessive gene known as chinchilla or colour inhibitor. The eyes, paw pads and skin of the white lion retain a bluish hue. White lions were first documented in 1972 in the Kruger National Park of South Africa, though legend and folklore suggest the white lions have existed for many ages. Image Credit: AFP
