Beautiful and rare, the white lion population has increased thanks to the adorable new cubs in a German zoo!

It’s important to understand that just because white lions are white, it does not make them albino. Albinism is the result of a lack of melanin, which is what gives organisms their colour. A recessive gene known as “the colour inhibitor” is responsible for the white lions’ colour.

They are exactly like regular lions in every other way, but are considered a novelty and, unfortunately, are being bred for hunting.

This week, the population of white lions happily gained six new members with the birth of some cubs in Germany. These adorable babies are likely to be the hit of their zoo and you can check out the adorable family in the video below:
