White lions have a number of features that distinguish them from true albinos: as do white tigers, they typically have blue eyes (regular lions have gold eyes), due to the recessive gene, according to Nat Hab
There are only about 300 white lions left in the world, with only 13 living in the wild.
The lion's unique white coat is mainly the result of a recessive gene and are not albinos.

The earliest sighting of the white lion was in the Timbavati region of South Africa in 1938
The discovery of these rare-looking lions caused such a great sensation that decades of hunting and capturing ensued
They also have black features on the tip of their noses as well as 'eye-lining' and dark patches behind their ears. By contrast, albino lions, which lack pigmentation, have a characteristic pink or red coloration to their features.
