White tigers are beautiful animals. White tigers are strong and powerful animals. White tigers weigh up to 300kg and reaches more than 3 meters in length. They have orange tinge to their white colored fur. The white tiger has black or dark brown stripes that run vertically along its body. White tigers parents determine whether they have blue eyes rather than green or yellow colored eyes of normal Bengal tigers.

We don’t want to lose the magnificent white tigers. The white tigers have once been found in much of India and surrounding countries. Their ranges have decreased dramatically, particularly over the past 100 years or so. Today in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, populations have severely dropped.

Baby white tigers are very cute. Male and female white tigers are attracted to one another by their roars and sent marks. Once they mate, the male and female go their separate ways. Female white tigers give up to 5 cubs, which are blind and weight roughly 1kg each. They can have either white or orange fur.

White tigers have a lot of cool facts about them, swimming. Along with the Bengal tiger, the white tiger is considered to be the second largest species of tigers in the world after the Siberian tiger. White tigers have an average lifespan of 12 years.

White tigers have an appetite for boar, cattle, goat, and deer. The white tiger is a carnivore animal meaning that it only hunts and eats other animals in order to get the nutrition that it needs.
