Many people think that white tigers are a separate subspecies, or even a separate sub-population of Siberian Tigers. This isn’t the case, however. White tigers are not a separate subspecies. They’re not albinos. They’re not so-called “royal white tigers”, nor are they “snow tigers, ” neither of which actually exist. Rather, white tigers are simply tigers that are born with white fur. This is an extremely rare genetic mutation that occurs very seldom in the wild, where population geneticists estimate that only about one in ten thousand tiger cubs are born with white fur. There is no evidence that white tigers are at any natural disadvantage, as they have a full suite of stripes, which provides them with the same camouflage as their more prevalent, colorful cousins. The Year of the Tiger. Centuries ago, the Chinese invented a calendar based on the lunar (rather than the solar) cycle. There are twelve animals in the Chinese lunar zodiac, each corresponding in sequence to a year rather than a month. In 2022 we celebrate the Year of the Tiger. According to tradition, people born during a Year of the Tiger (1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010 and 2022) are said to exhibit that animal’s attributes. They are charismatic and fearsome, generous but unpredictable. They are often noted for their enthusiasm in life, and are unafraid of exploring new territory. They can also be aggressive, especially when they perceive a threat or are cornered. A three-quarter portrait of a wild white tiger in its natural habitat.
