"Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany, July 14, 2008—Three rare white lion cubs make their public debut at a wildlife park in north-central Germany.
The cubs are among of seven white lions born to two different mothers on June 30 in what park staff called a "giant surprise."
Despite their unusual look, white lions are actually African lions. A recessive gene causes their snowy white coats. About 30 white lions live in captivity worldwide. "

They are so fuzzy, they look like they just came out of the dryer =)
Drop dead gorgeous. I wonder if they are like white Danes, its a recessive gene so they are often born deaf and/or blind. Pita has a beautiful white girl named Olivia.
they are gorgeous. yes thats a good point Abbey I'm going to find that out...
Adorable while young, and beautiful when grown. Fortunately, they were born in captivity, as not too many white animals survive in the wild (unless they live in a polar climate).
