A very rare male white lion gets into a fight with his father who is letting him know that is is soon time to leave the pride and go out to extablish his own territory. Ngala, South Africa. The white lion is not an albino but is leucistic, which means that a recessive gene mutation actually makes their fur white. Their eyes and skin are the same color as tawny lions. According to our ranger, there are currently only 3 white lions living in the wild today
