Description A young white Bengal tiger (about 1 year old) practices its salking skills on its unaware sibling.

White tigers are very rare in the wild. They are not albinos and are not a separate subspecies to their orange coloured counterparts. One is born when it receives the rare recessive gene for this colour variation from both parents. They have white fur, ice blue eyes, pink noses and chocolate colour stripes.

White Bengal tiger.
Panthera tigris tigris or Panthera tigris bengalensis
