Description

White Tiger is a rare form of Bengal Tiger with a unique (recessive) gene inherited to it from its parents. It is due to the presence of this gene which gives it a white color. It is also not the albino form. White tigers are born only when two bengal tigers that possess a recessive gene (gene that affect the coat color) are bred together. Most tigers have yellow eyes, but white tigers usually have blue eyes, due to the gene for blue eyes being linked to the gene for white fur.
