They can also be without stripes. Such animals are not albinos and they don’t live in Siberia; it is just a natural mutation.

They attract thousands of visitors and can be instrumental in attracting investments for some zoo projects.

Such animals appear in the wild only once in a great while, because the gene for such coat color is recessive. Such animals differ from ordinary orange individuals in having blue eyes, pink nose and paw pads and creamy fur with chocolate stripes. Such cubs can only occur if both parents carry the recessive allele responsible for this color. In the wild, such animals are born only once per every 10,000 births. These animals are ill-suited for life in the wild and have a very low survival rate. Learn more about bengal white tigers and view a photo of these cats on the web.
