Super Fitness Health BlogSome Cool White Tiger Facts
The white tiger is one of the most beautiful tigers out in the world and what many people really do not know about them is the fact that they are not a seperate breed all by themselves. In fact, white tigers are born with a condition that takes out the coloring from their fur.
The most common type of tigers that white tigers are found in is the Bengal Tiger subspecies.
Most of these types of tigers are now found in captivity, as they are extremely rare and very few – if any at all – can be found in the wild anymore.
Interestingly, it was once believed that they were never found in the wild. A myth once said that they actually could not strive and live without human intervention and that often they lived only short lives. However, this has proved to be extremely false.
In fact, the opposite is true. There was once a time where, in the wild, there were generations upon generations of white tigers being born.
An interesting one of the white tiger facts is that back in the nineteen eighties there was a time that of all the white tigers in the world, the entertainment team of Siegfried and Roy owned roughly ten percent of them. That just goes to show exactly how rare and special this type of tiger has become.
At the moment, throughout the world, there are hundreds of white tigers that are kept in captivity. Most of these can be found in the country of India.
