White tigers are extremely rare in the wild, with most of them being bred in captivity for their unique appearance. They are not considered a separate tiger subspecies but rather a genetic variation of the Bengal tiger. White tigers face challenges in the wild due to their coloration, which makes it difficult for them to camouflage and hunt.
White tigers follow the same life cycle as other tigers. They are born blind and rely on their mother for care and protection. They grow, learn to hunt, establish their territory, mate, and eventually age and may face challenges related to old age.
White tigers are a rare genetic variation of Bengal tigers. Their niche is similar to that of other tigers, as they are carnivores at the top of the food chain, helping to control prey populations in their ecosystem. However, due to their unique coloration, they may face increased challenges with camouflage, making hunting more difficult.

Well, the white tigers fur mutation isn't dominant nor beneficial (depends). The allele for white fur in tigers is recessive and even then not many tigers are heterozygous (One dominant allele and one recessive allele for those who do not know) Now it can be beneficial depending where the tigers live, there used to be Siberian Tigers who lived in the snow so it would be beneficial there but white fur will decrease stealth ability in the jungles, therefore alleles can be beneficial or harmful depending on the allele and where the organism lives.
White tigers are extremely rare and therefore, humans are this species worst enemy. Tiger cubs face predation from larger tigers and lions but as adults, they have no natural predators.
White tigers face issues such as inbreeding, leading to genetic problems and health issues, habitat loss due to human encroachment, and illegal wildlife trade for their rare coloration. These factors contribute to the vulnerability of white tigers in the wild.

Because they are white.
Yes. White tigers have a mutation in their genes that makes them white, and they are the offspring of siberian tigers and bengal tigers.
Tigers typically have orange fur with black stripes. Their underbelly is usually white and they may have some white markings on their face. These colors help tigers blend into their habitats and camouflage while hunting.
