What is the scientific name for white tiger?

Answer 1

Originally, white tigers were ordinary Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) that acquired a recessive gene for albinism, or lack of skin pigment. The lack of orange pigment makes the tigers white with black stripes.

"White Siberian tigers" are crossbreeds between white Bengals and non-white Siberian tigers (Panthera tigris altaica). There are no actual confirmed albino Siberians, although the coloration might substantially aid a Siberian in snowy climates.

Answer 2

White Tigers are not a subspecies of Panthera tigris, as is often thought, but simply a specimen of Panthera tigriswith leucism or albinism.

Answer 3

The scientific name for a white tiger is Panthera tigris tigris. The white coloration is due to a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation.
