White Tigers

Beautiful, but misunderstood, white tigers are really just genetically flawed Bengal tigers. Extremely rare in the wild, they can appear in a litter with normal colored siblings. Those in captivity often suffer from inbreeding abnormalities.

Do white tigers eat snakes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"No, tigers do not eat bears. They do not live in the same environment"

That's not true: Asiatic black bears and Amur tigers occupy much of the same range. However, tigers probably would not actively hunt bears, seeing as they are also large animals with big claws and strong teeth and jaw muscles. However, if a tiger came across a bear that was already dead, or perhaps even a lone cub, it might take the opportunity to eat it. Most likely it'll stick to deer, sheep, fish and birds.

Why are white tigers on the endangered list?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

White tigers aren't considered a separate species, they're simply individuals of the same species of tigers, with a rare, but natural mutation that gives them a different colour scheme. As members of the same species, they aren't any more, or less endangered than the normally coloured version.

But both tigers and elephants are all under pressure due to habitat loss and poaching.

How many snow tigers in the wild?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A count, taken in 1996 reported 430 Siberian Tigers in the wild. However, Russian conservation efforts have led to a slight increase, or at least to a stable population of the subspecies, as the number of individuals in the Siberian Forests was estimated between 431 and 529 in the last count in 2005. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the latest Russian Census reports put this number to be anywhere between 480 and 520 without including the small numbers of this subspecies present in mainland China. The Hengdaohezi Feline Breeding Centre in the northern Heilongjiang province of China plans to release 620 Siberian tigers, after its numbers have increased from 708 to 750. hi

There is conflicting information about whether or not there is actually a subspecies known as the White tiger. However, for the purposes of this answer, the White tiger refers to a subspecies of the Bengal tiger (As per the related link below).

These white tigers are found in a range of habitats such as tropical rain forests, temperate forests and mangroves through souernthern and southeast Asia.
They are usually located on the Mainland of Southeastern Asia and in central and southern India.
The habitat of white tigers is very simple. These tigers tend to live in cooler forests in the Eastern hemisphere.

For Bengal tigers who live in India, it is a genetic mutation of the fur colour. For siberians (who obviously live in Siberia, in Russia) it is the colour they change in the winter for camouflage, but in the summer, they are orange.

Why are White Tigers being killed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The White tiger isn't a separate species. It's a rare, but naturally occurring version of (usually) the Bengal tiger.

There's never been a self-supporting population of White tigers only.

There are far more of them today in zoos and animal parks that there has ever been in the wild.

Most, if not all of them, can be traced to a wild caught male who was bred to one of his daughters some decades ago.

This Close inbreeding is why many of the White tigers in captivity have Health issues. They're (almost) all closely related.

In the wild, the poorer camouflage offered by the black and White fur, out of the very few cubs that are born, only an even smaller number makes into adulthood.

This means that they're so rare, that no one - even when tigers were more common - can make a living out of killing White tigers.

But if you're already out poaching, finding a White tiger would indeed bring you more Money, and Money is what it's all about for almost all poachers.

They are killed for their hides. Poachers can sell their coat on the black market, as with any tiger, but if it is from a "White Tiger" the demand is much greater. Also, most of the teeth, claws, organs, and bones will be sold for "Chinese Traditional Medicines" or used to make other artifacts. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

How old is the white tigers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would really depend on what type of metal cabinets you get. Stainless steel would be a good option but other types of metal might rust. Plastic would be a good alternative as it will stand up to the elements. Whatever type you go with, make sure you get a lock so that you prevent children and animals from getting in to any chemicals you store.

What is the name of the white tiger?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

White tigers are tigers whose fur is white instead of orange, with black stripes. The white fur is the result of a rare genetic mutation due to a recessive gene. In the wild the only white tigers are Bengal tigers, however very few wild white tigers reach adulthood because they don't have the camouflage that orange tigers do. White tigers are bred in captivity because they're popular, but because the gene is recessive and rare this usually results in inbreeding.
