It is a tawny yellow color because it helps the animal blend so the prey can not see the predator coming

How many black lions are left?

As of last update in January 2022, there are no known instances of black lions. Lions typically have tawny-colored fur, though variations in color, such as melanism (resulting in a black appearance), have been observed in other big cat species like leopards. However, no verified reports of black lions exist in the wild or captivity. If there were any new developments or discoveries since then, I wouldn't be aware of them.
