White Bengal Tigers

In the wild, Bengal White Tigers are found exclusively within South Asia, notably in India. Although Bengal tigers make up 60% of the world’s wild tiger population, individuals with white coats are indeed very rare. Only one White Tiger exists out of every 10,000 normal orange-coloured tigers. White Tigers are often mistaken for albinos, which are completely white with pink eyes. The unusual white coloration is a result of gene mutation – a permanent change in the gene controlling the coat coloration and the change can be passed on from one generation to another. The mutated gene is a recessive gene, meaning two such genes are needed to produce the white coloration. Both white and normal orange-coloured cubs can be found in a litter. The majestic tigers are a symbol of strength and power to many. Yet today, their survival hangs in the balance. Of the eight tiger subspecies, three are now extinct and the remaining five are critically endangered. Despite greater awareness and concerted efforts to protect the tiger, their numbers are fast decreasing. Rapid deforestation has resulted in the destruction of the tigers’ habitat as well as the depletion of their prey. Killing of tigers for their body parts is another reason for the decline in their population. A report published by the World Wildlife Fund highlighted the possible extinction of tigers within a decade if inadequate conservation measures are taken to protect the tigers. This means that the majestic big cat might disappear from the face of the Earth within our lifetime! Photo taken on my Nikon D300 fitted with the Nikon 70-200mm F2.8G lens with TC17EII teleconverter. Thanks for viewing, hope you like it.
Photo captured at the Calgary zoo. Many of you may have heard of the tiger here that recently attacked two people that broke into the zoo late at night. Well here is the guilty party involved : ) Not only were the two injured very badly but they were also criminaly charged with trespassing !! Cant blame the cat for that ! / /

! Featured in the Tiger, Tiger group on 14 November 2009 The largest subspecies of tiger is the Siberian (Amur) Tiger. This tiger (Panthera tigris) is a member of the Felidae family; the largest and the most powerful of the four “big cats” in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 4 metres (13 ft) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), the larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids. Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognizable feature is the pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts.

The park has the highest density of tigers of any of the national parks in India. This particular tiger had spotted some deer in the distance and was prowling around in the grasses trying to get closer. Please view large!

A white tiger is a tiger with a recessive gene that creates the pale coloration. Compared to orange tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger both at birth and at full adult size. There are only around 200 of the white tigers left in the world. Shot taken at Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore. / Shot with Canon DSLR. Featured in National Parks of the World in Sept 2009. Featured in Alphabet Soup (Letter ~ T) in Sept 2009. Featured in 4 Winners Only in Sept 09.
Highly adaptable, tigers range from the Siberian taiga, to open grasslands, to tropical mangrove swamps. They are territorial and generally solitary animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey demands. This, coupled with the fact that they are endemic to some of the more densely populated places on earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans. Of the nine subspecies of modern tiger, three are extinct and the remaining six are classified as endangered.

In my view Tigers are the most beautiful cats alive, I dearly love them. There are only 5 Tiger groups alive today, 3 are now gone and Siberian Tiger only have less than 400 living in the wild.
This group is for people who LOVE tigers and for people who want to know more about them. The art can be in any form BUT it MUST be of TIGERS the CAT not a flower, not a person named tiger not even a butterfly.and no tigers with other animals or people. tigers only please.
You can post art that promotes saving tigers, but it must have a tiger in it not just the stripes or paw prints.
NOTE: You can post Ligers (Male lion mate with female tiger) and Tigons (male tiger mate with female lion) BUT YOU MUST STATE THAT THE CAT IS HALF TIGER PLEASE. these works of art like the others must be your own works.
I will post a few Save the tiger links and we all can add to the list as we go.
We may have a few contest in this group, tho I am not big on it.
