The white Bengal tigers were found in Rewa, India, in 1951. The first one captured, a male, was one of four cubs, all its litter mates were normal colored. Once in a while, white tigers are seen in the wild, but they are extremely rare.

Can white tigers give birth to orange tigers?

Yes. In fact, most white tigers give birth to orange tigers 7/8 of the time, and while you may think these orange tigers are normal, they're not. They still have the same birth deficiencies as the white tigers. Only 1 in 4 tiger cubs from a white tiger bred to an orange tiger carrying the white gene are born white, and 80% of those die from birth defects associated with the inbreeding necessary to cause a white coat. The ONLY way to produce a tiger or lion with a white coat is through inbreeding brother to sister or father to daughter; generation after generation after generation. The kind of severe inbreeding that is required to produce the mutation of a white coat also causes a number of other defects in these big cats. The white coat is a double recessive gene so most of the cubs born through this inbreeding have normal coloring but they too suffer the same defects and are referred to in the trade as "throw away tigers."


What is the birth time of the white tiger?
