There is no such animal as the "snow" tiger. The Siberian tiger thrives in the cold forests of Russia and China, and is the only subspecies that lives in snowy regions in winter. If you mean the rare white Bengal tiger, which is nothing more than a genetically abherrant colored Bengal, they can appear at anytime in a litter of normal colored cubs, and have been recorded from time to time in history. The current white tigers of zoo and circus fame, are descended from white cubs captured in India's Rewa region (Madhya Pradesh) in 1951. Bred to normal colored tigers, occasionally resulting in some white cubs. Most white tigers in captivity are descended from these Rewa tigers.

Is the snow tiger an endanger animal?

The elusive snow white tiger is truly a cat of many faces! Artistically "snow white tiger" has been used in reference to the coat pattern of the white Bengal tiger. In more serious texts the term has been used to identify the most well known snow inhabiting tiger - the Siberian or Amur tiger. In some older references, almost any large cat might be referred to as a tiger, so depending on the source it's also possible that "snow tiger" could apply to the Snow Leopard as well. To make this truly confusing, avalanches of snow are also sometimes referred to as snow tigers, a tribute to just how fierce and deadly an avalanche (or a tiger) can be. So if your travel agent slips a snow tiger in to your vacation agenda, you better make sure you know what kind of tiger you're getting!
