White Tiger Facts: Exploring the Myth and Magic of the Elusive Beast #WhiteTiger #Wildlife #BigCats | Jot Tv Media

Baby white tigers are incredibly rare and magical to see. Born with snowy white fur and icy blue eyes, they’re not a separate species, but a rare color variation of the Bengal tiger caused by a recessive gene. These cubs are extremely uncommon in the wild and are mostly found in captivity, making their birth a special event. With their playful nature and striking appearance, baby white tigers truly feel like something out of a fairytale. Credit goes to @riku_0710 Feel free to explore the gallery

White tigers are Bengal tigers with a rare genetic mutation that gives them white fur with black or dark brown stripes, instead of the usual orange. They aren’t a separate species — they’re just regular Bengal tigers with a special color trait. White tiger babies, called cubs, are born with closed eyes and are completely dependent on their mother. They’re tiny at birth (around 2–3 pounds) but grow quickly. Their white coats make them stand out, so in the wild, it would be harder for them to hide
