A White Lioness -- A White Big Cat II
I've now got a Pro account now .. and have uploaded a full size different version here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a snapshot with my pocket camera taken from my drivers seat over my passengers lap and through my car window at arms length !
This was taken at Bewdley's (near Kidderminster) Safari Park, hence the pic taken from my car. There are about 3 or 4 white lions and tigers as well as normal lions and tigers too !
There are only 70 white lions in the world. 4 in the UK. They are not albino as they do have pigmentation, which is apparent in the eyes, paw pads and lip colour. This is a condition called leucism where there is loss of pigmentation in the skin and fur with almost normal eye colour. This occurs too in the white tiger.
You can read more about them here. .

This picture will soon be seen in a role playing game guide for a character that is a werelion (I don't know if you have ever heard of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita blake series or not but that's what the game is themed around) and that photo is pretty much dead on for what image they have in their head for the character when she is in lion form and they'd like to use it as a referance for other players to get an idea of what she would look like as well.
