White Tiger,,..


The white tiger (also known as the Bengal tiger) is about 3 meters

long, and weighs approximately 180-285 kg (400-569 LB). It’s coat lies

flatter than that of the Siberian tiger, the tawny color is richer and

the stripes are darker.
White tigers are white colored bengals, they are not albinos and they

are not a separate subspecies of tigers.
They have blue eyes, a pink nose, and creamy white furr covered with

chocolate colored stripes. White tigers are born to tigers that carry

the unusualgene needed for white coloring.
The White Tiger is a good swimmer, but a very poor climber.They may be

slow runners, but they are stealthy enough to catch any prey in their

sights. Becausethey are solitary animals, they mostly hunt at night.
It is belief that if you are born in the Chinese year of the tiger you

are unusuallylucky. Let’s hope that some of this luck rubs off on the

white tiger before it’s too late. Let's try to protect and preserve

their existence on earth.
