There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I will say that there are many accounts of adult white tigers, but no real images that I can find. The genetic deformities are most likely due to the massive inbreeding that has occured in white tigers. A wild white tiger could definitely be different to the captive specimens if it does exist in the wild till adulthood.

My opinion definitely remains the same in regards to conservation, protect these animals and let a "white tiger" occur naturally, just like it did in the past. It will do so again.
I am more open to the idea of white tigers surviving to adulthood in the wild. I still believe that any captive white tiger is genetically deform due to the massive inbreeding that has occured. While the gene has been seen in other captive tigers that they had no idea the tigers where carrying it, the tiger specimens are so few and far between that inbreeding still occurred.

This is my conclusion after everything I have read.
