White, Black & Golden Tigers

[parvez]

Obviously tigers thrive there. But when there is increase in the tiger population, intra specific competition in tigers increases. During the times of mohan, there were continuous jungles. Bandhavgarh must not be a separate reserve. Some  tigers during this competition must have been pushed to limits. Its during this time there must be scope for variations. They must have struggled in finding food. Remember that a tiger that did not establish his territory must be in stress. He must be finding territory after insane struggles. During this time, there must be lot of scope in variations. Also we must remember that only one in 15-20 hunting tries gets success. During intra specific competition that must go up in certain specimens struggling to find territory. After insane struggle, once they try to settle in, it must have provoked the production of pigment for camaflogue. The genes responsible for this may be passed on to his offspring. These offsprings are not essentially the variants. They may be carriers for this gene for pigment production. In this way, if carriers are mated from different gene pools, the dominant trait for this pigment production must produce these kind of tigers over some generations. Reply
