Do white tigers breed?

yes


Do white tigers breed with other tigers?

White tigers aren't a separate species, they're simply a Bengal tiger with an unusual fur color. As such, they'll happily breed with other tigers if they get the chance. In fact, being so rare, a White tiger in the wild would pretty much have to breed with a normal-colored one, if it is to have any chance of breeding. Holding out for another White - if tigers thought that way - wouldn't be an option.

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.
