Where do white Bengal tigers tend to live?
Bengal tigers live in India, so they are also called Indian tigers.
How endangerd are snow tigers?
I guess "nonexistent" is pretty endangered ...If you mean snow leopards, they're considered "endangered" by the IUCN (on a scale that goes "extinct", "extinct in the wild", "critically endangered", "endangered", "threatened", "vulnerable", "least concern" where "least concern" can mean anything from "there seem to be enough of them" to "there's too darn many of them").If you mean white tigers ... there are no known white tigers in the wild. They're not "extinct", though, because white tigers are just Bengal tigers that happen to be white; the gene for "whiteness" is recessive, so white tigers are uncommon unless they're specifically bred for, and white tigers have disadvantages compared to their orange littermates (a defect in the visual portion of their brain makes them tend to be clumsy until they learn to compensate), so it's unusual for a wild-born one to survive to adulthood. Bengal tigers generally are also listed as "endangered" by IUCN.
Is the white tiger gregarious?
No, white tigers are not gregarious animals. They are solitary by nature and tend to be territorial, preferring to live and hunt alone. However, they may come together for mating purposes.
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.
Is a Siberian tiger a white tiger?
It is not extinct because a white Siberian tiger does not exist. The only white tigers are Bengal tigers and they are still alive today, but only in zoos because they were never found in the wild.However, some Siberian tigers are white.
What are dog breed trends?
Many families with young children tend to have a lab.
Why are white tigers rare?
The simple answer is that the gene that causes the white coat of the white tiger is a mutant gene and thus is very rare. In most places where tigers are indigenous (native), a white coat would be a disadvantage rather than an advantage. The normal orange coloring of the tiger combined with its stripes actually help the animal to blend into its surroundings when hunting. White tigers tend to lose that advantage and are much more easily spotted by potential prey.
How do white tigers protect themselves?
tigers usaully protect themselves by fighting with there sharp claws or leaving territorial marks to tell other animals "go away!".The white tigers protection is the same as a normal tiger - i.e. teeth and claws. the only difference being the colour (or lack of colour) of their fur. So they probably stick out alot more than most tigers in the grass would.As an added bonus though, white tigers tend to be slightly larger meaning that where they may be disadvantaged it actually has a slightly better advantage which is probably a little more helpful anyway.
What are white tigers habitats?
white tigers habitats are everywhere all or the world! even in small townsthey mostly live in forest jungles and many places that have enough prey/food 4 them 2 eatThere 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.
Where do orange tigers live?
In the wild orange tigers tend to live in places like India with dense forests. Most orange tigers however live in captivity.
How do Siberian white tigers act around other animals?
Siberian white tigers are solitary animals and are typically aggressive towards other animals. They tend to be territorial and may exhibit dominance over other species. Introducing them to other animals can result in conflicts or stress for both parties.
Do bengal tigers eat baby elephants?
Yes, Bengal tigers can prey on baby elephants, although such occurrences are relatively rare. Tigers typically prefer smaller, more manageable prey, but if food is scarce, they may target vulnerable young elephants. Adult elephants tend to be too large and dangerous for tigers to attack. Overall, while not a common part of their diet, baby elephants can fall victim to Bengal tigers under certain circumstances.
