Are white tigers still found in the wild?
Yes. They are Bengal tigers. They are endangered though. And the white coat is due to a recessive gene, so they are less common than orange coats.
What proof do people have tigers are endangered?
Only 140 years ago, there were an estimated 100,000 tigers in India alone, and certainly could not have been less than 160,000 worldwide. Today, less than 3500 tigers exist in the wild.
Why are white tigers on the endangered list?
White tigers aren't considered a separate species, they're simply individuals of the same species of tigers, with a rare, but natural mutation that gives them a different colour scheme. As members of the same species, they aren't any more, or less endangered than the normally coloured version. But both tigers and elephants are all under pressure due to habitat loss and poaching.
Are tigers still endangered species?
Both. These two tend to follow each other. Tigers are endangered, and because we don't want to lose them, they are protected. Means they're not allowed to be hunted. And that people try to keep poachers away.
White tiger population graph?
in captivety they don't get all the nutriants that it needs and in the wild the only place it could live is a snowy place because of its color it stands out in the trees but in the snow it is almost invisible.
Should White Tigers be saved?
Yes, of course you should save the white tiger, you should save all endangered species even if there are only 10 or less in the world ( you should help even more if there are less numbers) and don't give up. Because all animals are counting on your help.
Is there many white tigers left?
there are less than 4,000 left
Is the white tiger endangered?
"I believe the White Tiger is a mutation and not a species. One could argue that with fewer "normal" tigers, there is less chance for mutations to take place and the White Tigers fate is linked to that of the normal ones." Yes, the White Tiger is not a species as the zoos would have you believe. They are a mutation, a genetic anomaly. They are most often inbred, Father to daughter/grand-daughter, brother to sister and it's only done this way for their white color. All the offspring that isn't white colored or is disformed are killed or abandoned. Only 20% of the offspring survive, smaller still is the percentage of babies that are genetically healthy. And even smaller still is the amout of white tigers that can be used for showing and training.

What is the general classification for Sumatran tigers?
White Tigers are not a separate breed of Tiger, but are Bengal Tigers that respond to a recessive gene for white pigmentation. It is not an albino. An albino has no pigmentation or color and these tigers have the characteristic dark stripes, but with white fur. Since they are not a separate species this animal cannot be specifically considered an endangered species any more or less than any other tigers.In the Tiger's natural wild habitat it is estimated that only about one birth in ten-thousand results in the double recessive gene that produces a White Tiger cub. It is easy to see why spotting a White Tiger in the wild would be a rare sight indeed.White Tigers are found almost exclusively in Zoos. I have read that all the White Tigers in captivity today are descended from a single wild White Tiger captured in the 1950s.Tigers in their native lands of Asia are considered endangered. It is estimated that there are only a few thousand wild Tigers remaining. In the early 1900s the tiger population was thought to be in the area of 100,000. That is indeed a drastic reduction.
Where can you find white lions?

Are Siberian tigers still endangered?
sadly yes there are less than 5,000 Siberian tigers left in the world because of poachers killing them for their fur and around about 500-700 are in captivity
How to conserve the endangered species?
they become endangered because people kill them. over killing the animals means less to eat and less of does species.
