But this rarely or never happens in wild, as males moved of and change, thats more in closed private reserves or zoos..

That is the reason why every white tiger has crossed eyes, and every captive born lion bares a similar appearance which is very different from wild lions. They are all born from the same initial source. I know, just as in humans, birth defects occur in the wild, but are, almost always, either shunned or killed by their pride/pack/flock. This explains why we don't often see the proof of this. That percentage is only going to be made exponentially worse by in-breeding. Reply
