Description:
This image was taken through glass at preservation station of the T.I.G.E.R.S. exhibit at Myrtle Beach, SC. T.I.G.E.R.S. offers a unique experience to get close to these large carnivores. The coloration of this tiger is due to the fact both parents carried a recessive gene for white coloration. Often Bengal and Siberian/Amur tigers are cross bred to achieve this popular color. They are not a separate species or albinos. They can also be referred to as Rewa tigers. What drew me to this particular cat was the ground being the same color as his stripes, which helped to highlight the cat’s markings against his white fur.
