Description
Is this White Lion Roaring or yawning? Is he playful or is he just just a big wild lion? Lion set in a pretty sunset. ,Ten White Lion facts: 10 Facts about White Lions by the "Global White Lion Protection Trust" Painting by Phyllis Kaltenbach The FAA Watermark will not appear on your finished product.
White Lions are not albinos, but a genetic rarity unique to one endemic region on the globe: the Timbavati region.
The Genetic Marker that makes White Lions unique has not yet been identified by science.
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.
The earliest recorded sighting of white lions in the Timbavati region was in 1938. However, the oral records of African elders indicate that these unique animals survived in this region for many centuries.
The unique white lion gene is carried by certain of the tawny coloured lions in the region, and white cubs occurred in numerous prides in the region.
Since their discovery by the West, white lions and those lions carrying the unique gene have been hunted, and forcibly removed from their natural endemic habitat.
The last white lion was seen in the wild in 1994, after which time they were technically extinct in the wild.
The idea that white lions are genetically inferior to ordinary tawny lions has not been scientifically tested.
The idea that White Lions cannot survive in the wild due to perceived lack of camouflage has not been scientifically tested.
Currently, there is no law nationally or internationally that protects the White Lions from being wiped off the face of the earth.

Thank you, so very much, Mohammad. I do not believe the the White Lion was ever genetically inferior to the Tawny Lions! Mishandled, possibly!

Hello there "BeautifulSky Photography"! thank you for your lovely comment. There are white lions but they are very rare. I believe most are, possibly, in Zoos.

Gorgeous, Phyllis! I saw a nature show on TV last year about a white lion. They followed it for a few years worried that it wouldn't survive but it found a mate and seems to be doing well. I think that it was on Smithsonian, History, or National Geographic. Your painting is fabulous. I like that you used such a bright orange for the background. f/v
