Best Answer

White tigers are tigers whose fur is white instead of orange, with black stripes. The white fur is the result of a rare genetic mutation due to a recessive gene. In the wild the only white tigers are Bengal tigers, however very few wild white tigers reach adulthood because they don't have the camouflage that orange tigers do. White tigers are bred in captivity because they're popular, but because the gene is recessive and rare this usually results in inbreeding.

albinos (they are not a separate species though).

Actually, white tigers are not true albinos, but a genetic morph of the Bengal tiger.
