The Mojo White Lioness figure captures the sleek, muscular build and poised demeanor characteristic of lionesses, with a unique twist due to its rare white coloration. The fur is detailed, showcasing the soft, sleek texture typical of a lioness's coat. The figure's pale cream to white fur contrasts beautifully with its light amber eyes.
The figure accurately portrays the coloration that reflects the genetic mutation responsible for the white coat, a result of leucism rather than albinism.
The Mojo White Lioness figure measures approx: 5.5 L x 2.4 H x 0.8 W inches.
White lionesses are a rare color variant of the African lion, predominantly found in the Timbavati region of South Africa. Their distinctive white coats are due to a genetic condition known as leucism, which reduces pigmentation in their skin and fur while leaving their eyes and nose with some coloration. Unlike albinism, leucism does not affect the coloration of the eyes, allowing white lions to retain the typical amber or golden eyes of their tawny relatives.
White lionesses share the same social structure and behaviors as other African lions. They live in prides, which are social groups consisting of several related females, their offspring, and a small number of males. The pride operates as a cooperative unit, with lionesses playing a crucial role in hunting and raising cubs. White lionesses, like their tawny counterparts, are the primary hunters, using their strength, speed, and teamwork to take down prey. They target a range of animals, from small antelopes to larger herbivores like zebras and buffalo.
