No, white tigers don't live in the wild. They are inbred for zoo's, circuses, or to be sold in the black market for pets.
How did the white tiger get exstinked?
It never has. A white tiger is just a severely inbred Bengal tiger. White tigers haven't even their own sub species.
Does a white tiger have an estimated population?
There is only about 200 worldwide. They are a mutation, there has never been a documented wild birth of a white tiger. All white tigers have been bred and raised from the same white tiger found in the 1950's, all inbred to keep the white gene alive.
What are facts about white Bengal tigers?
White Bengal Tigers are Bengal tigers that are white with gray stripes. Most species of tigers have white individuals, but the most common are Bengals. White tigers once existed in the wild, but the last wild white tiger was seen in 1958. The genes that cause white tigers have vanished from wild populations as the have shrunken vastly inrecent decades.However, a number of white tigers exist in captivity, the descendants of wild white tigers that were captured. In order for a tiger to be white, it has to have two copies of the gene for whiteness. This means that in order to be sure of getting a white tiger, breeders must breed two white tigers. This means that many breeders inbreed their white tigers in order to get more of the valuable white ones. This is much easier that trying to find unrelated white tigers to breed, but causes the animals to be inbred; the tigers have unusually large numbers of double-recessive genes, and little genetic variety. These white tigers are less healthy than non-inbred tigers and can have diseases, deformities, and decreased fertility.However, there is nothing inherently unhealthy about tigers with the white gene; it does occur naturally. White tigers are unhealthy only because humans interfere with tiger breeding to produce more white tigers than would naturally occur. Some non-inbred white tigers do exist, as well as inbred orange tigers with health problems.Because of the excessive inbreeding practiced on white tigers, some groups oppose the breeding of any white tigers. The opposition is usually grounds that it is unhealthy for them to exist, that they are bred at the expense of breeding healthy orange tigers, and that selective breeding for the white genes is detrimental to the genetic diversity of all captive tigers. Maintaining genetic diversity amount captive tigers is considered important because wild populations are declining and could vanish.
What are facts about white lions?
They're not natural. Nearly all white lions today are inbred descendents of a small group of lions living in Kruger National Park. The facts about white tigers apply to white lions too. A manga by Osamu Tezuka written in 1950 featured a white lion as the main character,
Why are white tiger threatend?
White tigers are a genetic anomaly of the Bengal tiger, and have not been seen in the wild for years. The ones in captivity are all inbred, and many scientists are trying to halt the breeding of these animals, because they suffer from defects and health problems because of the inbreeding.
Are white tigers herbivores?
White tigers - like all tigers - are carnivores, meat eaters
Do all white tigers have blue eyes?

What is a white Bengal tiger?
An extremely rare genetic condition of the Bengal tiger, occurring only one in ten thousand births. The white tigers in captivity were bred from a hand ful of white tigers, and are very inbred, being afflicted with many defects, such as crossed eyes, cleft palate, and kinks in their tails.
