White Tiger



     


 The white tiger is a very close sibling to the Bengal Tiger, in fact, sometimes they can even be found in the same litter. White tigers are bigger and grow faster than normal Bengal Tigers. Male white tigers can weigh about 200-230 kg. White tigers in captivity are not pure white tigers, they are just Bengal Tigers that have been bred with a white tiger. Pure White tigers are extremely rare and can only be found in the wild. There are said to be about several hundred white tigers in the world with about 100 in India. White tigers are not considered a subspecies of the tiger. They are considered a hybrid mutant of an existing tiger species. White tigers that are bred outside of  India have a lot of genetic defects such as cross eyed, fore legs, club foot, kidney problems, crooked backbone and twisted neck.





Panda

           The Giant Panda is called a giant panda instead of just a panda because it is used to distinguish it from the red panda. The Giant panda has a black and white coat. It is commonly known as one of the emblems of china.
