The White Tiger
White tigers are a kind of tiger whose fur is white or almost white. This colouration is caused by a recessive gene. White tigers have been known to inhabit many parts of East Asia, including India and China. However, their current range has been much reduced due to excessive poaching.
Compared to orange tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger both at birth and at full adult size. This may have given them an advantage in the wild despite their unusual colouration.

he looks so amazing and so special... it's amazing that we can still see them despite of the recessive gene... so stunning animal... I hope that people would help them to survive in their natural habitats...
