White Siberian Tiger
The white siberian tiger picture can be found online on most sites that feature exotic cat photos.
In the 18th and 19th centuries owning such animals was very popular among the royalty. They were and are very expensive. Nowadays, they are successfully bred in captivity. In some zoos such animals are produced with the help of inbreeding (breeding close realtives.) Such method has led to several defects in the offspring: crossed eyes, curved spine, short lifespan and several other genetic disorders. Afterwards, the sciencists decided to breed these animals to normal orange species. Only one cub with a unique color is born in several years, but it’s free of hereditary disorders.

White Siberian Tiger -
picture, photos
Such animals don’t live in Siberia; their coat color is not a natural adaptation to the snow. This color variety belongs to the Bengal species and occurs very rarely. In Siberian and other subspecies there are no cases of this rare coat color reported. Such a coat color is useless in the wild, because it’s difficult to hide waiting for the prey in the jungle having such a color. The gene for such a color is recessive, so such cubs are born only if two parents have this gene. The white siberian tiger picture can be found online on most sites that feature exotic cat photos.
