Rare White Lion Cub Spotted In South Africa

A wildlife photographer has recently came across an extremely rare white lion cub. Lyle McCabe, 30, was visiting the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa, when spotted the unusual cub. The white baby lion was playing with its mother and the other of its siblings.

Even though he initially thought the rare cub may suffering from albinism, McCabe said the cub another rare genetic condition called leucism. Unlikely albinism, leucism leads to partial loss of pigmentation, so even even with a completely white coat, an animal that is suffering from it does not have its eyes affected. Either way, there is always an eye-catching sight!
