The White Bengal Tiger
The white bengal tiger is protected from hunting; expect a photo to show off its distinctive appearance.
Today, such animals are a popular attraction in many zoos. It is a matter of prestige to own such a unique animal; there are only about 300 of them in the world and the majority of them are hybrids of white and orange parents. Though these animals have white fur, they are not albinos. They feature dark stripes and blue eyes; species with yellow or green eyes also occurred down the line. Their appearance is defined by a double recessive allele, and it takes both parents carrying this allele to produce a white species. In the wild, these animals are extremely rare, and a white cub occurs once per every 10,000 births.

The White Bengal Tiger -
hunting, photo
These wild cats are also called Indian tigers. They are the most numerous in population than any other subspecies of these animals. In the past, they were often killed as a part of sport and entertainment by Indian and British nobility. Their body parts and whiskers were and, sadly, are still used in Asiatic traditional medicines, and one killed animal goes for a very high price. Therefore, illegal trade in their body parts is still there, and the poaching is still a far cry from being overcome.
