Imagine you are in a zoo you don’t Know where to go and you go to the new flashy exhibit marked “white tigers”. You see a flash of white as a white tiger runs in front of you at its top speed of 60 mph. You see a sign next to the glass that says “Zebra a white tiger born at Cary Zoo in 2018” this tiger will never be let out of captivity because it can not survive in the wild. Many white tigers are born with health problems and deformities. These tigers are not their own species and are very much like the regular Bengal tiger. To know more about white tigers keep reading!
The most common health problems for white tigers are shortened lips, hip dislocation, crossed eyes,brain and thought problems, and bent spines. These are all caused by inbreeding. There are no specific deformities that occur. Inbreeding is the only way to get white tigers (besides pure luck) because white tigers all come from 1 white tiger found by a man in the 1950’s (pure luck). In 30 white tigers are perfect-meaning they have no deformities or health problems these ones are the ones held in zoos and such. The impact of inbreeding on white tigers' health is a significant concern, as highlighted in this informative tiger essay. These breeding practices have resulted in various health issues, such as shortened lips, hip dislocation, crossed eyes, brain and cognitive problems, and bent spines, underscoring the need for responsible breeding practices to preserve the well-being of these majestic creatures.
The first white tiger was white due to its parents both having a recessive gene causing their baby to have a gene called leucism. So that tiger was inbreed to get others to have the recessive gene making the chance to get a white tiger higher.
White tigers have been none to be referred to as albino and as endangered these “facts” though are wrong though seen regularly in some articles.
Are not albino they are luetistict (which is perfectly okay its inbreeding that causes the problems).
They are not their own species so they are not endangered. All breeders use this as their excuse but some places have banned white tiger breeding since the white tiger does not need to be “saved”. Breeders use white tigers for money and nothing else.
They don’t live in the wild because they cannot . If a tiger were to have a white cub she would likely kill it off because it’s inability to camouflage and therefore its inability to survive.
You are leaving the zoo and your mom tells you that tomorrow you are going to India. The next day you're in India and you have a great view of the jungle and suddenly you hear a soft wail you look around you see a small white tiger on the ground and think white tigers don't live in the wild. A man that is dressed for the 1950’s scoops the white tiger cub up and says “oh beautiful you are endangered one”. (it’s not endangered you think.) He looks at it though it’s pure gold. You call out to him he doesn't seem to hear you. “Ahh’’ you breathe in, you wake up in the car on the way home from the zoo. You think about your dream on the rest of the way home and think about the white tiger looking super healthy and super white. Then your dad tells you your cat is luetistic.
