It features a stunningly detailed and textured mane that beautifully accentuates the broad chest and proud posture of the lion. The off-white detailing highlights the pure white base, giving the figurine a truly regal appearance.

White Lion Information:

White lions are a rare color mutation of the African lion, primarily found in the Greater Timbavati region of South Africa. They are not a separate subspecies of lions but rather a color variant, and their distinctive white fur is the result of a genetic mutation.

Their white fur is caused by a recessive gene, which is carried by both parents, and only occurs in approximately one in every 1000 African lions.

Despite their striking appearance, white lions face many challenges in the wild. Their white fur makes them highly visible to predators, and they often struggle to blend into their surroundings, making hunting more difficult. Additionally, their small population size and inbreeding have made them vulnerable to genetic disorders and diseases.
