White Bengal Tiger
The white Bengal tiger, a rare variant of the Bengal tiger, captivates visitors with its striking white coat and piercing blue eyes. These tigers are not a separate subspecies but are the result of a genetic mutation.
Zoos house white Bengal tigers in enclosures that replicate their natural habitat, complete with water pools, shaded areas, and climbing structures. Their diet consists of high-quality meat, and they participate in enrichment activities like hunting simulations to keep them active and engaged.
Zoos educate visitors about the misconceptions surrounding white tigers and the importance of conserving their orange-coated relatives, whose populations are under severe threat in the wild.
