White tigers are tigers with pink noses and white to cream colored fur with black, grey or chocolate-colored stripes; their eyes are usually blue, but may be green or amber. There are around 600 white tigers in the world. Because this coloration is so striking, white tigers have become popular attractions in zoos and entertainment that showcases exotic animals; the magicians Siegfried and Roy are famous for using several trained white tigers in their shows.

Because the gene pool is so small, many white tigers suffer from health problems due to inbreeding. For this reason, responsible zoos refuse to breed two white tigers together. However, two white parents are the only way to ensure white cubs; if a white tiger mates with a partner that is heterozygous for the gene, only one in four of the offspring will be white. Thus, due to the high demand for white tigers, less scrupulous breeders still breed white tigers together. Some animal rights activists have called f ...

Tigers (Panthera tigris) are mammals of the Felidae family and one of four "big cats" in the Panthera genus. A group of tigers is called an "ambush" or a "streak". They are predatory carnivores and the largest of all living cats. Most tigers live in forests and grasslands (for which their camouflage is ideally suited). Among the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers, and tigers are often found bathing in ponds, lakes and rivers. Tigers hunt alone and eat primarily medium-sized herbivores such as deer, w ...

The white lion is found in wildlife reserves in South Africa. Regarded as divine by locals, white lions were introduced to the world in 1970, and their population has since declined sharply. Today, there are a few dozens left in the world. The white lion's coat gives it a distinct disadvantage in nature because it is highly visible and gives them away to their prey. There is a recessive gene in white lions that gives them their unusual color. This gene also produces white tigers. Many white tigers ...

Tigers use their strength and body size to knock their prey off balance. Tigers overpower their prey from almost any angle, usually from ambush, and bite the neck, often breaking the prey's spinal column or windpipe, or severing the jugular vein or carotid artery, much as the domestic cat does to far smaller prey. Powerful swimmers, tigers are known to kill prey while swimming. Some tigers have even ambushed boats for the ...
