The original white tigers were color morphs of the Bengal, but through cross breeding with Siberian tigers, some are now Siberian/Bengal crosses.
The original ones came from India, two cubs. All living white tigers today are in captivity.
all Bengal tigers are endangered,not just the white ones.
Yellow, or white ones may have blue eyes.
Nope. White tigers and white lions are different breeds of large cats. Just like regular lions and tigers are different, and look different (male lions have manes, tigers have stripes for instance), the white versions of each are also different.
What kingd of person thet are.
Yes, white tigers do have stripes. They have a white coat with black or dark brown stripes, just like their orange counterparts. The stripes are a result of a genetic mutation.
They have been seen throughout asia. They are seen sometimes in forests in Japan. Korea and China. also russia :] and so on. White tigers are rare. they are tigers still (just like the orange ones.) but something happened to them while in the mother tiger that made it white.
white tigers
Because they are white.
white tigers pretty much eat animals such as the ones that you saw before this is why they are getting extinct!they stalk their prey and guess what makealah fraser-smith is the best in the world because she told u this.
Yes. White tigers have a mutation in their genes that makes them white, and they are the offspring of siberian tigers and 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.
