The White Lion

For centuries, the myth of the white lion has been appearing in african literature. White lions are not albino, but a genetic rarity unique to one endemic region on the globe: the Timbavati region. They are sacred animals that are considered Children Of the sun, ancestral bringers of light, living legends, and africa's most sacred animals. The White lions are currently classified under the general species classification Panthera leo, although this is likely to change after the genetic research undertaken by the Global White Lion Protection Trust reveals important reasons for sub-speciation of this rare phenotype.
