You have several white lions listed as 'albinos'. White lions are -not-
albinos--they are simply homozygous for the white gene. They're not truly
"white", though they sometimes appear that way under certain lighting
conditions, in photographs. White lions are born white, and are usually
a buttermilk white by the time they reach adulthood. (You'll notice that
in some of the shots, you can see tawny 'shadows' on their faces. An albino
would have no pigment whatsoever.
