White Tigers have evolved due to genetic variation. Some people might think, that the white tiger is its own species, but it is not. The white tiger is not an albino form, although some people might think it is it’s actually a different form of Bengal Tiger. The reason, that you never hear of a white tiger being from a Bengal tiger is simple, our minds just don’t think like that. Our minds, well some of the human’s minds go to the fact that a white tiger has got to be its own species. The white Tiger is just simply possesses a specific gene, which makes it’s fur give off a lighter appearance compared to other Bengal Tigers. This white fur due to genetic variation gives it a recognizable mystery and beauty. “Their blue eyes, rose-pink noses,

They are definitely a very interesting one. Their physical structure, like all other animals, has an endoskeleton. Endoskeleton is what is inside the body like what humans. Like ours, their skeleton contains hard, strong bones, and held together by ligaments. Their internal organs are, just like ours, protected in the strong shape. “The structure of the skeleton of a tiger is similar to that of other big cats in the wild, particularly the lion. The details of the bones, ligaments and how they have been put together reveal much about the habits and make-up of this extraordinary creature.” -Meyer, Amelia 2013. “The skull is a beautifully designed creation. Not only does it protect the eyeballs and the brain, but it is also built in a way that allows the tiger to have maximum strength in its jaw, which is essential considering its hunting methods and its carnivorous diet.” -Meyer, Amelia 2013. “The skull is short and rounded, investing all of the support and power into the teeth and jaws. In addition, where humans have a skull septum made of the membrane, a tigers septum is made from hard bone, separating the cerebrum and cerebellum and protecting the brain more effectively.” - Meyer Amelia 2013. I personally think, that this is very common and not that they would have this. They have to have the strong septum to protect them, and their brain. They hunt and go through a lot just to get a meal, so they …show more content…
Males can be anywhere between eight and 10.2 feet (that is, between 2.4 and 3.1 meters) in length, from head to tail. Females are smaller, averaging between 7.1 and 8.5 feet (equivalent to between 2.1 and 2.6 meters) long. Males can weigh anything between about 190 and 260 kilograms (or about 420 and 570 pounds), while females average about 158 kilograms or 350 pounds.”- Meyer, Amelia 2013. Their diet is the same as the other tigers, they are carnivores. They rarely, to never choose vegetation as part of their diet. If they don’t have a choice, then they will eat berries, grasses, or some different fruit that they can find. The favored prey of tigers is various species of deer and the succulent wild boar. The availability of prey does, of course, depend on the specific area in which the tiger resides and what is most prolific there. In an area that is not well populated by animals, tigers may have to resort to eating rodents, small birds, insects, and so on. “However, the most common diet options for tigers include sambar, chital (also known as the Spotted Deer or Axis Deer), sika deer, nilgai, buffalo, gaur (a bovine species), monkeys, civets, porcupines, and even fish, frogs, crabs, monitor lizards, and snakes. When available and vulnerable, a tiger will not shy away from attacking baby elephants or baby rhino. Still, the tiger is not afraid of it prey, and will not discriminate between healthy
