Yes, they are ... ( 2 months ago by sirensgrotto)

Yes, they are adorable, but zoos should be about breeding species to be reintroduced into the wild one day. A white tiger would die in India. So would a white lion. Having that many white cubs in a litter, I am sure it was incest or very selective breeding to GET that color. jay182uk is right, as cute as they are, they shouldn't exist. Not saying to kill them, but neuter all of them. They shouldn't breed!

NO, white lions are ... ( 2 months ago by sirensgrotto)

NO, white lions are rare because they stick out like sore thumbs on the brown earth there. Hyenas, leopards, even large birds of prey will eat a lion cub. They have tawny coats to blend in and hide from predators. As cubs they get killed. Much as albino alligators do. The few white lion skins you see are often adults and were raised in captivity to be slaughtered.

And the gene is a ... ( 2 months ago by sirensgrotto)

And the gene is a defect. If these lions lived in a snowy area, they may be able to survive. But they don't. Also, females prefer males with darker manes. A dark mane means a male is at its prime. This female only mates with him because he's the only one around.

yes , they are adorable abominations they should be killed because they would die in the real world because they are white and they are breed ONLY for entertainment that is why i call them "abominations".I see most of the people here don't know this they must be killed because they corrupt the natural order of things

they arent breed ... ( 2 months ago by spiral564)

they arent breed only for entertainment. they are breed to keep them from going extinct. they are produced natually not from some mad experiment, but it is rare. also theyre cute so meh!

while this dude is crazy he is right, if they were to go into back into the wild they would quickly go extinct because they have no camouflage so there prey could see them from miles a way, but they are very cute

people need to quit ... ( 1 month ago by cornguy)

people need to quit trying to make white lions. If they turn out white, fine, but quit inbreeding. Theres a reason there arent many of them, they dont occur naturally it takes inbreeding.

For your ... ( 1 month ago by mikokat)

For your information, the white fur is caused by a recessive gene, not inbreeding specifically. If two lions are carrying the recessive gene, they can give the cub a white pelt. So it CAN occur natuarlly if two lions are carrying the recessive gene.

years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue. " The "clown statue" is really
a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand

For everyone who ... ( 1 week ago by flameow152)

For everyone who says these lions "aren't fit to live", first off, I don't think any human has the right to even say that just because some animal can't live in the wild. Why don't you kill off your pet cats and dogs because they can't live in the wild? Dog breeding is the same, they're for our comfort and amusement, deal with it. Secondly, Animal Planet filmed a white lion in the wild and followed it from birth to adulthood, and it became even more skilled at survival because of its color.
