Indian White Tiger

Indian White Tiger



It is very difficult to find white tigers in the world. In approximately one hundered years only twelve white tigers have been seen in the thick forests of India. They are in real danger and most of them are living in personal captivity and in zoos. White tigers are not different from other tigers, they simply have white fur with black stripes that makes them special. White tigers have blue eyes and a pink nose. Their span of life is ten to fifteen years. White Tigers possess thirty large teeth ranging from 2.5 to 3 inches. Depending on the subspecie, the length of a white tiger is about nine feet. The length of the tail is three to four feet. The foot pads vary in size with age, resulting in inaccurate estimates when used in censusing wild populations. White tigers are good swimmers but slow runners.

White tiger's cubs are born blind and weigh only about two to three pounds, depending on the subspecie. They live on milk for six to eight weeks before the female begins taking them to hunt for food. White tigers have fully developed canines by the age of sixteen months, but they do not begin to hunt their own prey until they are eighteen months old. White tigers are found in Bandhavgarh National Park, Ranthambore National Park, and Kaziranga National Park. White tigers are a protected specie all over the world. It is completely illegal to hunt them but hunters are still hunting these beautiful and endangered tigers.
