What caused the extiction of the white tigers?
White tigers are not yet extinct. White tigers are also known as snow tigers. But no, they are not yet extinct, even. The white tigers are merely color variations of the Bengal tiger, extremely rare in the wild. They are not a different species from the Bengal, and white cubs can be born at any time in a litter of normal colored cubs. Also, the "snow" tiger is the Siberian tiger, not white Bengals.

How endangerd are snow tigers?
I guess "nonexistent" is pretty endangered ...If you mean snow leopards, they're considered "endangered" by the IUCN (on a scale that goes "extinct", "extinct in the wild", "critically endangered", "endangered", "threatened", "vulnerable", "least concern" where "least concern" can mean anything from "there seem to be enough of them" to "there's too darn many of them").If you mean white tigers ... there are no known white tigers in the wild. They're not "extinct", though, because white tigers are just Bengal tigers that happen to be white; the gene for "whiteness" is recessive, so white tigers are uncommon unless they're specifically bred for, and white tigers have disadvantages compared to their orange littermates (a defect in the visual portion of their brain makes them tend to be clumsy until they learn to compensate), so it's unusual for a wild-born one to survive to adulthood. Bengal tigers generally are also listed as "endangered" by IUCN.
Do white tigers like other tigers?
yes. They are no different from other tigers, except that they are all white and black, and have serious eye problems. WHITE TIGERS ARE NOT ALBINO, AND THEY ARE NOT SNOW TIGERS. :)
What is the difference between a regulsr tiger and a snow tiger?
Regular tigers are actually just orange tigers. Snow tigers are just tigers whose parents had white genes, which is like white paint. When the two parents got together and had babies, the white genes "painted" the tiger white with black stripes. White tigers can live in hot or cold climates. Even though this ability is capable of them, they cannot and DO NOT live in the wild. See, part of the reason tigers are successful at hunting and getting food is because they can blend in with the grass. If they are white, then they can be seen easily. BYe>

How many snow tigers are there left?
The term "snow tiger" is used to refer to a couple of different sub-species of tigers. Often it is used to refer to the Bengal tigers that have a gene mutation giving them a white coloration. Sometimes these white Bengal tigers are also called the "snow white tiger". This coloration in the Bengal is very rare, especially in the wild. But perhaps, more frequently, the only tiger that lives in snowy country, the Siberian, is referred to the "snow tiger" or "Siberian Snow tiger". These Siberian tigers are believed to number only around 600 in the wild today."Snow tigers" are of the Siberian tiger species and are estimated at between 500 to 600 in the wild.
