The term "snow tiger" is used to refer to a couple of different sub-species of tigers. Often it is used to refer to the Bengal tigers that have a gene mutation giving them a white coloration. Sometimes these white Bengal tigers are also called the "snow white tiger". This coloration in the Bengal is very rare, especially in the wild. But perhaps, more frequently, the only tiger that lives in snowy country, the Siberian, is referred to the "snow tiger" or "Siberian Snow tiger". These Siberian tigers are believed to number only around 600 in the wild today."Snow tigers" are of the Siberian tiger species and are estimated at between 500 to 600 in the wild.
The sub species are; Bengal, Indo Chinese, Sumatran, Siberian, and South China, and Malayan.
Depending on sub species, they can be up to 42 inches at the shoulder.
It never has. A white tiger is just a severely inbred Bengal tiger. White tigers haven't even their own sub species.
