I think they can. There are pictures of black lions on Google images (of course they could be photoshopped), but I think they have to be a mixed breed (like bred with a black jaguar or panther) before this can happen.

Unlike leopards and Jaguars, who are sometimes black in colour, there are no known cases of black lions.



A subspecies of lions called Abyssinian lions are sometimes called "black lions"; but they are not black in colour. The mane of male Abyssinian Lions has more black fur than a standard lion, but their fur is mostly tawny brown like all other lions.

Black Loins are a result of good photoshopping or creative dye jobs.

So no, there is no such thing.

No, however, some lions have black spots on them as a genetic mutation, these are very rare and infertile.
