White tigers

Since white tigers are not albino and not a subspecies they are not meant to live in their natural habitat. There natural habitat is that of Florida; hot. Not the snowy mountains or icecaps. From research to this day there is no evidence to support that white tigers have lived long enough to become an adult. White tigers may not survive in the wild for these reasons:

• A hunter will spot them and kill them. A white tiger is a nice trophy.
• They will starve to death because they cannot catch prey, because the prey will see them coming.
• They will die from the hand of other animals, who can spot them.
• Other tigers may see their coat as a genetic liability and will not mate with them.
• The mother may kill the cub, because she senses something is not right.

White tigers usually have to catch prey at night because that is the only camouflage they have. It is sad to always have to be extra extra careful when already sneaking up on prey.

However in the zoo there is no live prey and nothing that a white tiger should be doing normally. A tiger paces back and forth, some say that is the sign of a very sad tiger, including the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Because this is not how a tiger would act in the wild. Then again, white tigers are bred to be in zoos, technically this is normal behavior for them.
