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.
