I have heard that white tigers in Everland are hybrid between Bengal and Siberian tigers. I wonder if anyone here can confirm it

Code:
The white tiger or bleached tiger is a leucistic pigmentation variant of the Bengal tiger, Siberian tiger and hybrids between the two. It is reported in the wild from time to time in the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, in the Sunderbans region and especially in the former State of Rewa.[1] It has the typical black stripes of a tiger, but carries a white or near-white coat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_tiger

Judging from the wikipedia it seems that Siberian tigers just like a Bengal tiger can have the recessive white genes and even a hybrid of both the largest extant tigers.

On post #158 of this thread, there is a tweet mentioning 4 golden tigers in Kaziranga. We know about a mature female codenamed kzt 106 who is about 6 years old. Here are golden tiger siblings with regular coloured mother confirming the tweet:

Golden male tiger from Kaziranga who is filling up nicely. You have to wonder about his lack of camouflage though. 6-7 months back, he was seen with his mother and sibling. Looks like he has separated from his mother.

Male melanistic tiger T27 of Simlipal Reserve was found dead in Nawna range on 30th April 2023... Prima Facie reason could be due to fight with another male. Official reason yet to be confirmed.
He was 3.5 years old.

If golden tigers can thrive in the wild, the white ones can thrive definitely!.

Continuation of post #186, here is the Kazi goldie male. @Rage2277 @Roflcopters. He is clearly grown up nicely and is doing well.
