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.
