今日小常识

This white lion cub was born in Leon, in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. White lions are incredibly rare, with around 300 left in the world. Their colour is caused by a recessive gene, and their coats can range from blonde to pure white.

这只小白狮出生于墨西哥瓜纳华托州的里昂市。白狮子在自然界中极为少见,全世界也仅有300只左右。造成它们毛发颜色不同于普通狮子的原因是一个隐性基因,颜色可以从金色到纯白色。
