White tiger

A captive white tiger at the Singapore Zoo

The white tiger, or bleached tiger, is a leucistic morph of the tiger. It is reported in the wild from time to time in the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, in the Sunderbans region and especially in the former State of Rewa.[1] It has the typical black stripes of a tiger, but its coat is otherwise white or near-white, and it has blue eyes.
