The white lion is not a distinct subspecies, but a special morph with a genetic condition, leucism, that causes paler colouration akin to that of the white tiger; the condition is similar to melanism, which causes black panthers.

The only white tigers in Australia are ones in zoos. Australia has no native felids at all, and tigers are found only in Asia. White tigers are individuals of the Bengal tiger subspecies that have a genetic condition called leucism. They are not Siberian tigers, not albino, and not a unique species or subspecies - these are all common mistakes people make regarding them. In the wild, they rarely occur as leucism is passed on by recessive genes, and a white animal sticks out like a sore thumb, but when they do it is obviously in the areas that Bengal tigers live, such as India, Bangladesh and Nepal. They are much more common in captivity because people have bred them on purpose - often through inbreeding, meaning many captive white tigers have genetic defects.

The white lion is not a distinct subspecies, but a special morph with a genetic condition, leucism, that causes paler coloration akin to that of the white tiger. The condition is similar to melanism, which causes black panthers. They are not albinos, having normal pigmentation in the eyes and skin. So the answer to your question is yes.

The White Tiger is apart of the phylum chordata. The white tiger possesses a notochord that stiffens the dorsal or the animals back. Not only does it have a notochord, but it has 3 germ layers, it has bilateral symmetry, and it has a complete digestive system.

The white lion does not rely on camouflage for survival in the same way that other predators do. Instead, its white coloration is a result of a genetic variation called leucism. This unique coloration may actually hinder their ability to hide, making them more visible to prey. However, white lions typically inhabit grassland habitats, where their coloration can blend in with the dry grass during certain times of the year.
