White tigers are a color variation of the Bengal Tiger. While they could once be found (rarely) in Southeast Asia and in central and southern India, they are now found only in captivity.
Both the male and female must posses the white gene for white cubs to be produced

A lot of white tigers, perhaps most of them, live in
zoos. They are just a variant color form of the
regular tiger, and are uncommon in the wild. Some
zoos have hyped them as something surprising
and different, to get publicity and draw more paying
visitors, but there is nothing special about them
except that they are uncommon.

what the others are saying is true, but white tigers in captivity are often INBRED, which results in deformities and stuff.. they never tell you that, but you can google it for yourself. just type "white tiger inbred" or "white tiger inbreeding" and thousands of websites will pop up about it. have to ask- what's so wrong with regular tigers? in regards to where white tigers live--- most of them live in captivity, in zoos or in magic shows... because they don't normally exist in nature, as they'd be easy to spot & that would be dangerous for them or make it more difficult for them to hunt food... they're genetic anomalies, like albino snakes, white moose, white lions, etc. in the wild, they're not common AT ALL. In regards to an Asian rain forest.. You should check out Arashiyama Park in Kyoto, Japan.. It's a bamboo forest. Very pretty. A picture of it is the second link in the sources. In any case.. Good luck with decorating your room, I'm sure it'll turn out beautifully.. Just wanted to chime in & tell you the truth about the white tigers.. They're just regular tigers with a genetic defect & unfortunately, they're often inbred to continue to produce the gene. :/ They're bred more for show and entertainment than anything else.. Which is really sad, because they often have a slew of health problems, come out looking deformed, etc.. :/

There are some in Pakistan. I know this for a fact. They donated one to an American zoo this past summer.
