White+tiger

__//**The White Tiger **//__ White tigers are bread in captivity. There has been about a dozen reports of wild tigers being seen in India.White tigers are endangered because they have a ressesive gene that makes them pale in colour. Not many tigers have this gene so it makes them very rare. Other reasons that there aren't many white tigers is because of habitat destruction, competition from introduced species, disease and they get killed by poachers for their bone and fur. There are several hundred white tigers in captivity world wide at the moment and about one hundred in India.
