White tigers are white colored bengals, they are not albinos and they are not a seperate 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 unusual gene needed for white coloring.
Wild white tigers are very rare.
They are usually located on the Mainland of Southeastern Asia and in central and southern India.
The white Bengal tiger lives in grassy or swampy areas and forests, where they can be well
camouflaged. For a while now, no white tigers have been spotted in the wild, and can be
found only in select zoos.
