Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 22nd June'08


White Tiger (Panthera tigris) is a tiger with a genetic condition that nearly eliminates pigment in the normally orange fur although they still have dark stripes. Compared to orange tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger both at birth and at full adult size. The unusual coloration of white tigers has made them popular in zoos and entertainment that showcases exotic animals. (Courtesy Wikipedia)

I shot this one at the Africam Safari in Puebla. It was brought from the tiger reserve in Bengal, India.
