The white tiger, a rare and strikingly beautiful variant of the Bengal tiger, captivates with its pale coat and piercing blue eyes. This unique coloration is the result of a recessive genetic trait, not a separate species. Found primarily in captivity due to their rarity in the wild, white tigers are symbols of beauty and mystery.
Despite their majestic appearance, white tigers face challenges. Their lack of natural camouflage makes survival in the wild difficult, and inbreeding in captivity often leads to health issues. Conservation efforts for their Bengal tiger relatives are essential to ensuring the survival of these rare creatures and preserving the ecosystems they inhabit.
