Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Whitemane Lion, newest first.
- Whitemane Lion's ability doesn't target any creature, therefore no player may take actions between the time you choose the creature to return and the time you return it.
- You may return Whitemane Lion itself to its owner's hand as its triggered ability resolves. If you don't control any other creature, you must return it.
