Snow White Tiger

Despite a common mistake, white tigers are not Siberian Tigers whose colors would blend in their cold environment. Neither are they albinos.
In this cold spell, if they look great after the snow falls from Beauval in France to Novosibirsk in Siberia, they are nevertheless all descendants of a warm climate Bengal Tiger caught in India in 1951 and paired up with one of his orange colored daughters. That is why too many white tigers have defects due to inbreeding such as their strabismus. Their beautiful blue eyes show they are not albinos (red eyes), as they lack only brown pigment, and not all pigments as for albinos. Which is why they still show the typical tiger black stripes.
