What colour are white tigers?
Bit of a silly question WHITE tigers are pure WHITE With black stripes!
Are white tigers endangered species?
no they are not because they are not different species from the orange tigers. A white tiger is a tiger with a recessive gene that creates the pale coloration. Another genetic characteristic makes the stripes of the tiger very pale; white tigers of this type are called snow-white or "pure white". This occurs when a tiger inherits two copies of the recessive gene for the paler coloration, which is rare.
How many pure whites in US?
most of the white americans are pure, but there are some white americans with native american ancestry.
Who is also known as tiger of snows?
The white Bengal tiger also is known as 'the tiger of snows'. The white Bengal tiger is rare in nature and is found in areas of India. They also are in zoos throughout the world. Rather incorrectly, white Bengals are called snow tigers. Most of the white tigers in captivity are Siberian/Bengal hybrids, not pure Bengal. The white Bengal tiger in the wild occurs extremely rarely. The true tiger of the snows is the Siberian tiger.
What do pure white tigers like to do for fun?
If the tiger is wild, it will probably go eat or bathe. If it is tamed, it probably spends most of its time training (for circus). If it is a tiger at the zoo, it probably chases other tigers.

What can you do prevent the white tigers from becoming extinct?
Question is if you should do anything about it at all. White tigers have always been extremely rare, and only marginally lifeworthy to start with due to the poorer camouflage offered by their coloring. Might be better to focus on preserving the normal tiger instead.Although popular in zoos, white tigers are rare. The last known sighting of a white tiger in its natural habitat was near Rewa in Central India back in 1951. This male tiger was captured by the Maharaja of Rewa and named Mohan - it is this animal that most of the white tigers in captivity today are descended.Panthera tigris is not pure white but has brown stripes and blue eyes (chinchilla mutation). Although, the white tiger is not a true albino, it's white coloration makes surviving in the wild extremely difficult.There is some concern about the keeping of white tigers in zoos. These cats, are by nature, extremely inbred and possibly not of pure bred Indian descent. Some suggest that they are taking up valuable cage space and breeding resources and this is to the detriment of other pure bred and more threatened sub species.
Why white tigers are so rare or special?
A white tiger is a tiger with a recessive gene that creates the pale coloration. Another genetic characteristic makes the stripes of the tiger very pale; white tigers of this type are called snow-white or "pure white". There are only around 200 of the white tigers left in the world. White tigers are an Asian species, found from the frozen tundra of the Soviet Far East, south to the humid jungles of Malaya and Indonesia, and west to the hot, hardwood forests of India. There are five living subspecies; three others are already extinct. Current estimates put the world population of wild tigers at about 5,000-7,000, the most numerous race being the Bengal race, distributed among some 18 tiger reserves and sanctuaries of India (and a half-dozen in Nepal and Bangladesh), accounting for over two-thirds of all wild tigers.

Why are some tigers white?
A White Tiger is caused by a recessive gene that is passed on by a parent. So that the cub has the recessive gene itself. There is another genetic cause for the stripes to be lighter. These tigers are referred to as the Snow-White or Pure-White, and they carry two copies of the recessive gene. They are very rare, and created mostly by man. At one time the White Tiger had been found in the wild. But today they are bred in captivity for their beauty and popularity. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
