How many white tigers are in the world?

There are only about 200 Albino/White Tigers left in the world.


What is the difference between a white tiger and an albino tiger?

Both tigers are white, but Albino tigers will not have stripes on their tails. If you shave a white tiger's and an albino tiger's tail, the white tiger's tail will have stripes on the skin, while the albino tiger does not. An Albino tiger also will have pink skin, and their nose and lips will be pink too. A white tiger has white and black coloured fur and is a certain species. An Albino tiger is not a breed (can happen to any breed )but has no colour except for white and pink. This is because it is lacking in skin pigment because it does not have a certain gene. This can be passed down to it's cubs who could either turn out to be normal tigers or Albino tigers.

What is the general classification for Sumatran tigers?

White Tigers are not a separate breed of Tiger, but are Bengal Tigers that respond to a recessive gene for white pigmentation. It is not an albino. An albino has no pigmentation or color and these tigers have the characteristic dark stripes, but with white fur. Since they are not a separate species this animal cannot be specifically considered an endangered species any more or less than any other tigers.In the Tiger's natural wild habitat it is estimated that only about one birth in ten-thousand results in the double recessive gene that produces a White Tiger cub. It is easy to see why spotting a White Tiger in the wild would be a rare sight indeed.White Tigers are found almost exclusively in Zoos. I have read that all the White Tigers in captivity today are descended from a single wild White Tiger captured in the 1950s.Tigers in their native lands of Asia are considered endangered. It is estimated that there are only a few thousand wild Tigers remaining. In the early 1900s the tiger population was thought to be in the area of 100,000. That is indeed a drastic reduction.


How are white tigers needed?

White tigers are an environmental anomaly. Tigers have stripes to function as camouflage. A white tiger is an albino tiger and has genetic defects that hurt its ability to survive in the wild. along with lack of pigment, whit tigers may also suffer from vision complications, skin complications, and mental mishaps.
