1. Not fake at all...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_lion

The white lion is occasionally found in wildlife reserves in South Africa and is a rare color mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri). It has been perpetuated by selective breeding in zoos around the world. White lions are not yet a separate subspecies and they have been said to be indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries, although the earliest recorded sighting in this region was 1938. Regarded as divine by locals,<1> white lions first came to public attention in the 1970s in Chris McBride's book The White Lions of Timbavati. Up until 2009, when the first pride of white lions was reintroduced to the wild, it was widely believed that the white lion could not survive in the wild. It is for this reason that, now, a large part of the population of white lions are in zoos. Another large part, however, are bred in camps, for canned hunting trophies.

4. Fabulous story and pictures on this thread. It's said by some that white animals are signs of

Earth changes, heralding different eras, etc. Native Americans have been said to look for white buffaloes, there are those white deer and other anomalies. Not just albinos, but maybe.

There may be some scientific basis to these showing something as mutations as reflecting genes; but when we look at the Arctic fox and how its fur changes with the seasons of the year for purposes of camouflage, it doesn't seem like a mutation.

Interesting that animals don't seem to care about the different colors or patterns of fur, just the scent. If only we'd learn that ourselves... On second thought, scratch that. I'm not interested in identifying other people by smell...

:rofl:
