It is still a rare breed today and is believed to be the smallest in the world with a height of no more than 50 cm, which is attributed to poor grazing on the island.

White Lion

The white lion, which is occasionally found in national parks, is a special type of Panthera leo krugeri (Kruger's lion panther). The color it has is due to recessive genes, resulting in a rare gene mutation known as the "leucism condition". This is due to the change in the color of lions, causing a softer coloration that tends towards white. This condition has nothing to do with the well-known albinism (white fur, eyes and skin found not only in animals but also in humans), as these lions have normal eye and skin color.
