Nowadays, these animals can live only in sanctuaries and zoos; their wild population continues to decrease. Hunting and trading tiger body parts are banned in most countries of their habitat. White animals are successfully bred in captivity and kept in zoos and private ownership. Animal fanciers consider them to be the most beautiful creatures in the world. However, this beauty is also a curse, because their color makes them conspicuous in the wild and impedes hunting, to say nothing of their proneness to various hereditary malfunctions. White cubs are susceptible to twisted necks, spinal curvatures, crossed eyes and shortened tendons in the legs.

Endangered Bengal Tiger -
cats, catteries
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about 40,000 of these animals, but today there are only about 3,000 of them in the world. Their population has decreased greatly because of poaching for the body parts and pelts, hunting for sport and habitat destruction. Human interference has also contributed to changes in their behavior, since their home ranges are dissected and they cannot feed or breed normally. The number of attacks against humans has increased substantially over the last several years. Captive animals usually have a hard time getting used to wild life after years spent in zoos.
