FUN FACTS!!!!!!!!
All white bengal tigers are actually very closely related, considering there was very few of them at first, they are actually more related than most other species.
White Bengals are actually more muscular, athletic, and territorial than other types of animals and tigers. Some moms get mad if you want to take a picture!
Why are they endangered?
White tigers have no history of natural enemies, they usually only do what's instinctive.The main reason they have such a small population is because they have a history of genetic defects, causing early deaths in some.
Sadly, these rare animals only have an estimated population of about 200...
The main conservative efforts being taken are wildlife reserves around india, but not much more.
What can we do to help?
This is tough. Since the white tiger was bred, many call it a subspecies, not it's own, so the main thing we can do is support it. Even though they may not be their own species, they deserve to be helped and conserved. They are pretty amazing too.
"White tigers... beautiful today and gone tomorrow."
