White Lion Cubs on display at Toronto Zoo

[Catherine]

I think the lion population in a particular area is predominately white. The soil and rocks are lighter so they blend better and survive better.

I think the rarer colours have a tendency to be hunted more so we do need to work to balance things.  Spirit Bears exist on one small set of islands off the British Columbia coast. If we didn't protect them hunters would have killed them all long ago. It is interfering, but sometimes I am glad we do it.
