White tigers are from Bengal tigers that a carry a double recessive mutant gene. In the wild some estimates are there would naturally be about one white tiger for every 10,000 orange tigers. White tigers can be selectively bred for white in captivity. All of the lineage can be traced to one white tiger captured in 1951. There are no known white tigers in the wild and an estimated 200 in captivity.
“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity,
and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.” — Henry David Thoreau
“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up,
it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-
when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.” — Christopher McDougall
