What is the kingdom of the white tiger?
The white tiger is not a separate kingdom; it is a genetic variant of the Bengal tiger found in India. White tigers are not a species but rather a color morph caused by a recessive gene.
How did the orange tiger become a white tiger?
Orange tigers don't become white, they are born white. White tigers occur when two other tigers both have a rare white gene.
Can a orange tiger and white tiger have a white tiger?
Yes they can, it has nothing to do with them being orange or white, two white tigers can have a normal orange cub just like two orange tigers can have a white cub. It all has to do with their gene pool and which genes are recessive and when.
Why is a white tiger rare?
White tigers are rare because they are produced by a genetic mutation that causes a lack of pigment in the fur, a condition known as leucism. This mutation is carried by a recessive gene, so both parents must carry the gene in order for a white tiger cub to be born.
Is a white tiger a segmentation?
No, a white tiger is not a separate subspecies or segmentation; rather, it is a genetic variation of the Bengal tiger. The white coloration is caused by a recessive gene that affects pigmentation. While they are often classified as a distinct group due to their unique appearance, white tigers are not a separate species or subspecies within the tiger family. They are still part of the broader tiger population.
What happens when white tigers and orange tiger mate?
It depends.... If the orange tiger has the recessive gene for white coat, then the white and orange tiger can have white and/or orange cubs. If the orange tiger does not have the recessive gene for white coat, then only orange cubs will be born.
What is the kingdom of the white tiger?
The white tiger is not a separate kingdom; it is a genetic variant of the Bengal tiger found in India. White tigers are not a species but rather a color morph caused by a recessive gene.
Why is a white tiger white?
It's due to a recessive gene in the tiger gene pool that only comes about when inbreeding occurs, which rarely, if ever, occurs on the wild; only in captivity is this able to occur.
Is the white tiger faster then the original tiger?
The only difference between a white tiger and an orange tiger is the gene that controls fur color. ANy differences in speed will be down to the individuals, and not their color.
Why are some tiger cubs born white?
White tigers are a genetic sport. It is a recessive gene.
Are white tigers endangered species?
no they are not because they are not different species from the orange tigers. A white tiger is a tiger with a recessive gene that creates the pale coloration. Another genetic characteristic makes the stripes of the tiger very pale; white tigers of this type are called snow-white or "pure white". This occurs when a tiger inherits two copies of the recessive gene for the paler coloration, which is rare.
How did the orange tiger become a white tiger?
Orange tigers don't become white, they are born white. White tigers occur when two other tigers both have a rare white gene.
What subspecies of tiger carries the recessive white gene?
This is a trait of the Bengal tiger. White tigers are rare, even among Bengals, but nearly unknown among other subspecies of tiger. There are, however, some Siberian tiger /Bengal tiger white hybrids.
Where does white Siberian tiger live?
There never were any white Siberian tigers. This genetic flawed gene is present only very rarely in the Bengal tiger. No other tiger subspecies has this gene. Siberian tigers live in the Russian far east.
Can a orange tiger and white tiger have a white tiger?

Do white tigers and normal tigers live and act the same way?
Yes. The "white tiger" is a Bengal tiger with a white coat. The coat color is determined by a recessive gene that is specific to the Bengal subspecies.
