Why is the Golden Tabby Tiger in danger of becoming extinct?
There is no such tiger species as the "golden tabby".The golden tabby tiger is actually a Bengal tiger with a colour variation caused by a recessive gene. White tigers, for example, are also Bengal tigers with a recessive gene, As far as we know, no "golden tabby" coloured Bengal tigers have ever appeared in the wild and have, so far, only occurred in captivity. The recessive gene appears to be a side effect of being kept in captivity. It is currently a pretty rare occurrence, however. The name "golden tabby" refers to their colour, not their species. Their species is Bengal tiger.Bengal tigers are endangered and in danger of extinction due to illegal trophy hunters, habitat loss and hunters who wrongly believe that the Bengal tiger has some kind of medicinal benefit.Further Reading:"Golden Tiger" on WikiPedia
Is the white tiger a species of tigers or can it be any species but in white?
White Tigers, as well as all other tigers, are solitary and territorial animals but they are also social. The male and female tigers each have their own territories where usually one male territory overlaps several female territories.
Why are there white and golden Siberian tigers?
No, not purebred Siberians. The white trait, which also produces the "golden tabby" tiger, is a Bengal tiger trait, but may appear in hybrids between the two tiger subspecies.
Why is the white tiger almost extinct?
The white tiger isn't recognized as a separate species. It's the same ol' tiger, but with ONE mutation changing its colour scheme. The mutation is rare enough as it is, and then the poorer camouflage makes it a lot harder for those individuals to reach adulthood, making it rarer still. White tigers have ALWAYS been rare, but there's been SOME every now and then. It's the result of a natural mutation, remember? But with the overall number of tigers dropping, a rare event becomes rarer. Almost all white tigers in captivity are related to a wild-caught white male that was bred with one of his white daughters, which makes them prone to poor health due to the close inbreeding.

Are there such things as white tigers?
Yes. White tigers have a mutation in their genes that makes them white, and they are the offspring of siberian tigers and bengal tigers.
When did white tigers become endangered?
White tigers are the result of a naturally occurring mutation of the gene that determines pigmentation. As such they have ALWAYS been rare. With fewer tigers overall they naturally become rarer. But this also mean that they aren't considered a separate species - any more than humans with a particularly striking hair colour are considered a separate species - and since they aren't a specie, they can't be endangered. Basically, as long as there are enough tigers, every now and then there'll be a white tiger.
If a white tiger has pink eyes what does a normal tiger have?
Normal tigers usually have a golden-brown colour of eye. And white tigers have gray or blue eyes, as far as I know, not pink, because they aren't truly albino- they have stripes, which means they have pigmentation.
How are white Bengal tigers and white Siberian tigers different?
White Bengal tigers are the ONLY white tiger, white Siberian tigers do not exist. People just mistake white Bengals for siberians.
