White lions are the same as any other lion, but with white fur. They are of the feline species, so they run around on four legs, have short pointed ears and cute little faces. They look like really big cats.
White lions were, at one time, occurring in the wild, but today they are only found in zoos, animal shows, or animal studying facilities. They are kept in an environment similar to the one they would have in the wild, which is like an African savanna.
As wild animals, white lions would learn to hunt their own meat, which would consist of any animal they could catch in the wild, but the existing white lions are fed daily by veterinarians.
The white lions alive today are not in need of any unique physical changes to survive in their environment. They live in the sheltered and well-taken care of environments of zoos and animal facilities.
There were four white lion cubs born in 1998. They were extremely unique because they were born to two tawny colored parents, who had no know white lion gene history. It is rare for a white lion to occur naturally, since it has been though for that gene to be a recessive one, so usually only one of the offspring turn out to be white.
