A white tiger is actually a Bengal tiger that is white in color because of a special gene that it has inherited from its parents.
The white tiger’s striking black or chocolate stripes run vertically along its body in a pattern that is unique to each tiger.
Another unusual feature of a white tiger is that it has blue eyes rather than the green- or yellow-colored eyes of normal tiger.
White tigers are not only incredibly quick and agile at running, but they are also very capable swimmers too.
The white tiger is a large and powerful animal that can weigh up between 400 and 550 lbs- or as much as six 10-year-old kids together.
It is as long as a small car- around 10 feet.
White tigers are generally solitary animals that hunt alone, mostly at night. In the wild, tigers will eat pig, cattle and deer.
They can eat as much as 40 pounds of meat at one time! After such a big meal a tiger will not eat again for several days.
White tigers have no natural enemies- its biggest enemy is man.

The White tiger is a real and rare genetic
The White Tiger
The White tiger is a real and rare genetic variation of the Bengal tiger,
which is native to India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal.
The white coat of the white tiger is caused by a recessive gene,
which means that both parents must carry the gene for a white tiger cub to be born.
However, the white tiger has been the subject of controversy and criticism,
particularly with regard to their treatment in captivity.
