Some scientists had argued that white fur was a genetic defect intensified by inbreeding. But because the gene appears to affect only the cat's color, white tigers are simply genetically healthy variants of Bengal tigers, which, if bred carefully, might still survive well in the wild.

Some tigers have white coats due to a rare genetic mutation called leucism. This condition results in reduced pigmentation, causing the white fur. White tigers are not a separate species but a rare color variant of Bengal tigers.

The color of the white tiger's fur is the result of a genetic mutation called leucism. In fact, this white coat would be a hindrance in the wild, as it doesn't provide a tiger with any camouflage, which greatly reduces their chance of survival.
