 The Turner research ( ""Preliminary results have shown that the hunting success of the white lion pride was comparable to or higher than the wild prides ('normal' coloured / tawny) of the Timbavati itself (Turner 2005, Turner in prep.). This pride of ""all"" white lions has shattered the misperception that white lions cannot hunt successfully (within their natural endemic habitat) due to a perceived lack of camouflage. "") as to hunting success of white lions has not apparently been published (Pending publication turner 2005 NEEDS citation). It's conclusions will not be valid due to confounding differences and the rarity of white lions 
 In other words there is no statistical validity in a statement that a white lion pride has hunting success versus a tawny pride because the hunting behavior is complex and learned. the only way to compare hunting success without studying tens (Or hundreds) of prides would be to study several white prides and several tawny ones for baseline and then color the individuals, and see if a difference exists. At best it could be stated that the hunting success of the pride(s) cannot be differentiated from the tawny lions based on the anecdotal evidence available. given their rarity it would not be likely that evidence of predation on white cubs could be found. It is more likely that the coloration of adaults is not beneficial to hunting success depending on the coloring of the surround I'm not a big cat expert or know much about timbavati or SA. within the references there is information that implies that the whites are differentially outcasted. Agree with prior comments re disambiguation though White Lion should Identify as Musical group before White lions should identify as animals.
