This is in all probability the only White tiger living in the wild, there are of course many in Zoos and Breeding centres.
Tiger Canyons used to have two but one lost its life after an attempt to capture by the evil people from South Africa's Canned Hunting industry, wretched world is it not?

Incredible opportunity for you, and you made the most of it. The whole world may not be wretched, but there are far too many people who make it appear so, and those who make it so are beyond wretched IMHO. Thank you for posting this image.

Wow... This is unbelievable, white Tiger in WILD that too in Africa

The last known WILD white Tiger was found around 1951 from the stretch of forest adjoining Bandhavgarh national park. Next you should post Grizzly Bear from Africa

Thanks everybody for your kind comments

Butch,
I must admit I find that highly surprising, and of course Bandhavgargh is fenced (well at least partially

)

You're a lucky fella Ken.
I've seen plenty of tigers but no white ones.

For me the crop is a wee bit tight on the sides and - on my monitor at least - there appears to be a slight blue cast to the image.
