A White Tiger is caused by a recessive gene that is passed on by a parent. So that the cub has the recessive gene itself. There is another genetic cause for the stripes to be lighter. These tigers are referred to as the Snow-White or Pure-White, and they carry two copies of the recessive gene. They are very rare, and created mostly by man. At one time the White Tiger had been found in the wild. But today they are bred in captivity for their beauty and popularity. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
