As of now, the exact number of male white tigers in the world is difficult to determine due to the lack of comprehensive tracking and reporting. White tigers are not a separate species but a rare color variant of the Bengal tiger, and they primarily exist in captivity. Estimates suggest there are fewer than 200 white tigers globally, but this number fluctuates as breeding occurs. Conservation efforts focus more on preserving the genetic diversity of tiger populations rather than specifically breeding white tigers.
Male white tigers are simply referred to as "male white tigers." There is no specific name for them aside from their species and color designation.
Female white tigers are not significantly different from male white tigers in terms of physical appearance. White tigers get their coloration from a recessive gene, so both males and females can possess this trait. The main differences between male and female white tigers lie in their individual personalities and behaviors, which can vary widely among individuals.
They can be male or female.
White tigers can be both male and female, just like other tiger subspecies. The white coloration is due to a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation.
White tigers can be either male or female, as their color is not determined by sex. The white coloration is a result of a recessive gene, and both male and female tigers can inherit this trait. Therefore, to determine if a specific white tiger is a boy or a girl, you would need to look at its individual characteristics or consult its records.
White tigers, like other tigers, reproduce sexually through mating between a male and a female tiger. After mating, the female will give birth to a litter of cubs.
500 or more pounds (225kg) but the average weight for a male is 250 pounds (110kg)
Nope. White tigers and white lions are different breeds of large cats. Just like regular lions and tigers are different, and look different (male lions have manes, tigers have stripes for instance), the white versions of each are also different.

The white Bengal tigers were found in Rewa, India, in 1951. The first one captured, a male, was one of four cubs, all its litter mates were normal colored. Once in a while, white tigers are seen in the wild, but they are extremely rare.
White tigers, an extremely rare color anomaly found in Bengal tigers, are not a separate subspecies of tiger on their own. All white tigers are descended from a white male captured in Rewa India decades ago. Bred for their beauty and as a token for the curious, white tigers often have genetic abnormalities due to the inbreeding involved in their ancestry. White tigers should not be bred for our enjoyment, as the animals suffer in many occasions.
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.
