Do white tigers breed with other tigers?

White tigers aren't a separate species, they're simply a Bengal tiger with an unusual fur color. As such, they'll happily breed with other tigers if they get the chance. In fact, being so rare, a White tiger in the wild would pretty much have to breed with a normal-colored one, if it is to have any chance of breeding. Holding out for another White - if tigers thought that way - wouldn't be an option.

This is practically the same thing as white lions, white bears(if there are such things) and so forth.
