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.

About the issue that some believe the Nilgiri duo to not be pure white tigers but "Pale orange tigers"...

The word "white tiger" is misdirecting. The body colour varies from snow-white..

..to cream..

..to  what you can call dirty-white (like dirty blonde in people)..

..to pale (like them).

As NO SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THEIR GENES could have been done, we don't know whether these are classic white tigers or a new different mutation. (They do live a bit far from where the last case was in 1950s. Rewa, MP!)

Thus experts might feel it safer to call them pale...
