Bengal Tigers are not extinct although they are classified as an endangered species, with estimates of just over 2,000 left in the wild.

In the late 1700 to mid 1800's, estimates were there over 100,000 Bengal tigers, with the vast majority (nearly 90,000) in India and Nepal.

The population of Bengal tigers at that time was around 3200. Today, there are around 2200, but the numbers have shown a recent slight increase among the Indian population.

What caused the extiction of the white tigers?

White tigers are not yet extinct. White tigers are also known as snow tigers. But no, they are not yet extinct, even. The white tigers are merely color variations of the Bengal tiger, extremely rare in the wild. They are not a different species from the Bengal, and white cubs can be born at any time in a litter of normal colored cubs. Also, the "snow" tiger is the Siberian tiger, not white Bengals.
