I’m sure you have seen hundreds of Orange Bengal Tigers but did you know that there are White Bengal Tigers, too? They are unique for their white colour fur, which is not a result of any disease. It is actually because of the absence of a pigment or a colour giving agent, which is found in orange coloured Bengal Tigers.
If you compare the White Bengal Tiger to an Orange Bengal Tiger, you will notice the former are somewhat bigger. Even as cubs, they are bigger than the Orange Bengal Tiger cubs and tend to grow faster and heavier.
The White Bengal Tiger’s stripes are like our fingerprints—no two tigers have the same!
Also, the stripes of the tiger are a coloration of the skin.
Did you know that several hundred White Bengal Tigers are currently in captivity worldwide, with about one hundred being found in India alone! That’s sad, isn’t it?
I hate the very idea of keeping any animal in captivity, let alone tigers. Another thing I don’t like is showcasing these majestic creatures in entertainment business. It is not fair to force animals to work in circuses, is it?
Nandankanan Zoological Park in Odisha is the host zoo for white tigers. In 1980, the first litter of white tigers were born to Deepak and Ganga, both normal tawny tigers.
Subsequent litters of white tigers have been distributed to zoos, both at home and aboard.
At present, the park is home to over thirty four white tigers. The good thing is that the population of the White Bengal Tiger is on the increase! Yippee!
Their unique fur has made white tigers popular in entertainment, showcasing exotic animals, and at zoos. I am not very sure if that is something good for the tigers. What do you think?
