What stories are behind it?

Let’s watch it together!

Many people think that white tigers are endangered species because of excessive human destruction of the environment and hunting. In fact, this is a lie made up by some illegal traders who breed white tigers in the name of protecting them from extinction and make private profits.

In fact, white tigers are the result of inbreeding and genetic mutation of normal tigers.

Because their fur is too light, it is difficult for them to survive in the wild. In addition, due to inbreeding, white tigers have more or less health problems since birth. In mild cases, they may have spinal deformities, cleft palate, club feet, mental disorders, organ defects, immune deficiencies, hip dysplasia and swollen eyes, etc. Severe cases can also affect the lifespan of the white tiger.
