may i know is white tiger a Genetic modified animal or a natural animal?

Answer 1

A white tiger is not a genetically modified animal, but humans have done a great deal to increase their numbers. White tigers are simply a genetic mutation similar to, but not the same, as albinism. All white tigers in the U.S. before 1990 were descended from a white cub that was given to the U.S. by a Maharajah in India. The cub was named "Mohan". He was a son of a white tiger captured in the wild. Mohan was bred to a normal orange coloured tiger, then bred back to his daughter and all white tigers until new imports in the 90s are from him. A white tiger cannot survive in the wild and the wild one(s) captured would most certainly have died if not captured as cubs. As someone who has worked with them, I find they are much less healthy, and harder to work with, than regular, healthier, normal coloured orange tigers. White tigers often have clubbed front feet, shortened noses, wider foreheads, skin conditions, eye problems and other health issues as a result of the huge ammount of inbreeding that occured to result in so many white tigers in captivity today. White animals are found in lots of mammal species, but they very rarely survive in the wild. White tigers are not an endangered species, they are simply a very beautiful genetic mutation that humans like to have so they are constantly inbred to increase their numbers. There is another genetic mutation color known as "golden tabby", which are very pretty, but suffer from the same maladies as white tigers.

Answer 2

Basicaly white tigers are natural animals.

White tigers are individual specimens of the ordinary orange tiger (Panthera tigris), with a genetic condition that causes paler colouration. The condition is well-documented in the Bengal tiger subspecies (Panthera tigris tigris). It may also have occurred in captive Siberian tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), and has been reported historically in several other subspecies. The white individuals do not constitute a separate subspecies on their own. They have pink noses, white-to-creme coloured fur, and black, grey or chocolate-coloured stripes. Their eyes are usually blue, but may be green or amber.

They are rare in nature, but with their colouration widely considered striking, white tigers have become popular attractions in zoos and entertainment that showcases exotic animals. The magicians Siegfried and Roy are famous for having used several trained white tigers in their performances.

White tigers occur when inbreeding — usually between parents and cubs — produces offspring with two copies of a recessive gene. Although such inbreeding often leads to birth defects, the public appeal of the white tiger has, controversially, led to it becoming a regular practice in captivity[1].

There are several hundred captive white tigers worldwide, and this number increases annually. The captive white tiger population today includes pure Bengals, and hybrid Bengal-Siberians, but it is unclear whether the recessive gene for white coloration came from any of the Siberian ancestors, or only from Bengals.

Answer 3

sure and no. The white tigers themselves are the outcome of a mutation (similar in some thoughts to that which creates a Siamese cat). that is truly a partial albino. contained in the wild, white tigers are fairly uncommon. the same way that white robins or white garter snakes or white alligators are. White tigers are literally not an finished albino, yet they are, like albino, a normal recessive mutation. that signifies that both mom and father ought to carry the gene for it to particular itself contained in the youngster. contained in the wild, if a white tiger mated with a common tiger, the possibilities are intense that tiger might want to be unrelated to it and under no circumstances wearing the mutation. which skill all the toddlers might want to be time-honored colored. human beings, besides the indisputable fact that, like the seem of the white tiger. They captured the unique wild one and crossed it to a common tiger. Then they merely bred the white one back to its youngster and reared extra white tigers. in case you breed a white tiger to a white tiger you get white tigers. White tigers eyes are type of a bluish shade - some declare they have slightly poorer ingenious and prescient than time-honored colored tigers. As for the crossed eyes, it has not something to do with inbreeding - it type of feels to be a function of the mutation itself -- it develop into really person-pleasant to confirm crosseyes in Siamese cats years in the past. BTW - crossing 2 subspecies of tiger, or the different animal, does not create an truly hybrid. it would want to't be one or the different subspecies, besides the indisputable fact that that is not yet another species both. On one element, i in my opinion trust the internet web site you stated. White tigers are extra a self-love element for human beings. on the different hand, it supplies human beings a probability to confirm a uncommon animal that does exist in nature - the same way that there are albino elk, etc. the only element i might want to argue finished hostile to is ever freeing a subspecies bypass back into the wild, until eventually the species itself develop into extinct contained in the wild, in which case, i might want to bypass alongside with the launch theory and allow nature initiate its determination procedure in regardless of way it needs.

Answer 4

It can happen on its own in nature, but it is extremely rare and BAD!

To get a white tiger you need to inbreed cats.

If you do a quick google search for white tigers it will ping back a million sites about it. (that is if you are looking for detailed info)

Answer 5

they are natural but tehy are rare compared to the orange tigers.

Answer 6

Last I knew it was 100% natural... and in danger of extinction....
