Not so long ago, I knew about the e.g. white lion, tiger, black leopard, jaguar, but I did not give it so much thought.
Lately I've also came across various colored zebras, camels, dears and since I am fascinated by such color variations, maybe it would be nice to have a topic that kind of explaines such oddities.
I am sure that there are many people here who know more about these topics (maybe some biologists), but for a layman like me finding out something new about this is very interesting.
I just put the word "wild" in the title to avoid discussing dog, cat or horse colors.
I wan't to know more about the general mechanisams for such variations, so here we go..
Big cats:
