The White Tiger is a rare genetic variation of the Bengal tiger with white fur, black stripes, and a pink nose. White tigers are not albinos or a distinct subspecies. This type of tiger can be bred with regular orange tigers. The cubs will have orange fur, or there is a 50% chance of being a double recessive white. These large tigers can run at speeds of up to 65 km/h over short distances, an essential skill for hunting prey.
