White tiger and WWF.

Hi! Many innovations in nowadays have been very helpful but they have done some bad things too. People burn and hew out many forests in whole world. And many animals are getting rarer and rarer each day.

White tigers (Panthera tigris) are very rare animals now. They have pale fur with gray or fair stripes, blue eyes and a pink nose.
Most of them are located one the Mainland of Southeastern Asia and in central and southern India.
They are larger then other tigers (about 3 meters or 9 feet and 10 inches long and weight 180-285 kilos or 400-628 pounds). One of 10 000 wild tiger births will result in a wild tiger. Pretty rare, isn't it?
White tigers pale color is caused by the recessive gene. They are not albinos. If two white tigers multiply, the cub will definitely be white.
The last white tiger seen alive was shot in 1958.
