White Bengal Tiger

There are only around 200 of the white tigers left in the world. White tigers are an Asian species, found in the frozen tundra of the Soviet Far East, south to the jungles of Indonesia. Current study's put the world population of wild tigers at about 5,000-7,000, the most endangered race is the Bengal tiger, it is estimated that only about 500 are left. Unlike most big cats like lions, adult tigers like to live alone (except for mother tigers with cubs). This is mostly because in the forest, a tiger on its own can sneak up and surprise its prey better than a group of tigers can. The life span of tigers in the wild is thought to be about 10 years. Tigers in zoos live twice as long so we need to find another way to help this dieing species.
