Whige Tiger
by Ken Watkins
White Tigers occur naturally in 1/10000 births, so it is very rare. The vast majority that are in Zoos and circuses are a result of intensive interbreeding. The parents of this female were both "normal coloured" tigers, but both carry the gene that is required for the production of White Tigers, and mating gives a 25% of white offspring. This female has subsequently given birth to cubs all of which are "normal coloured".
Here she is growling at one of her cubs.
