White lions are not a separate subspecies of lion (panthera Leo). Their rare colour is caused by a mutation, called leucism, which is the same condition that causes the appearance of black panthers. These mutations very rarely occur in nature, although there have been some instances in eastern South Africa, where a subspecies, the Transvaal lion (panthera Leo krugeri), have produced naturally occurring white lions. Most white lions are purposefully bred like this in captivity.
