Bizzare Hatby =ChaosToGlory

Zenda was sharing a quick head butt with her sister, Jezebel, when she ended up with an unusual hat. The sisters are almost 22 years old! And yes, Jezebel is white.

African lions are normally tawny colored. For centuries, rumors of the mysterious white lion circulated South Africa. Legend had it that white lions would emerge from the bush only once every century to show their pure white coats, representing the good in all creatures. Scattered reports of their existence began in 1928 and continued over the next 47 years, until a litter containing two white cubs was seen at Timbavati Game Reserve, Africa in 1975. Timbavati lions are the only white lions known to be in existence. The white lion is not albino; it carries the recessive white gene. The unique genetic combination that results in a white lion is widely considered to be eliminated in the wild population today. (philadelphiazoo.org)

Yep. Lots of species can have white versions, including the occasional human. It's a genetic condition called hypomelanism, where they will have some pigment but not the norm.

In crocs, the "white" hypomelanistics are actually a pale shade of gold.

And in cats, the tail-hat behavior is being done constantly because it's funny and the cat knows it.

I agree

And I'm sure they know the pictures are plastered all over the internet.

They rule the internet with an iron-covered-in-snuggly-warm-fur paw.
