Reeftech Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Look at most white tigers if not all.They are hybrids.They have severe genetic issues.People still like these animals and dont kill them off because they are altered. Heres a pic of one underwater so it makes it comparable. Link to comment

1.0reef Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ya, it's sad tbh... White tigers endure a host of health problems about which the public is largely unaware, including immune system deficiencies that cause many to live miserable and short lives, scoliosis of the spine, hip dysplasia, neurological disorders, cleft palates, and protruding, bulging eyes. Many are stillborn and many more turn out to be too deformed to display. That's horrible! Link to comment

1.0reef Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Pic isn't showing up. Also, I found out that nearly all captive Tigers are hybrids because they were once considered one big species, with no subspecies. So white Tigers in captivity are likely hybrids. Link to comment
