There is only about 200 worldwide. They are a mutation, there has never been a documented wild birth of a white tiger. All white tigers have been bred and raised from the same white tiger found in the 1950's, all inbred to keep the white gene alive.
The white tiger started from humans breeding tigers in captivity. To make the tiger thrive they would have to establish a small population of white tigers to release in the wild because a tiger with and orange coloring will not mate with a white tiger.
