White Tiger Picture of the Week

This White Tiger is my picture of the week and this was taken in the Singapore Zoo during one of my working trips here.

For this shot, I manage to catch the tiger walking around the enclosure and suddenly decided to take a dip in the surrounding pool.

This beautiful majestic cat all in white with black stripes is actually a Bengal White Tiger which is one of the many here at the Singapore Zoo.

White tigers are rare because they suffer from a genetic condition that strips their fur of the orange pigment, leaving the animal with snow-white fur, black stripes, and blue eyes. They are also found in South Asia, namely India.

Edit: I added more White Tiger pictures as many people have not seen them. Above is a series of pictures taken from me. I used a Nikon D60 with an 18-200 mm lens for the shots.

If you like these majestic cats, I have some other pictures of White Tigers in Bali during a trip to the island in June 2011.

Conclusion

To see these amazing animals, you can visit the Singapore Zoo as they have a special area dedicated to these beautiful creatures. 

The cats are a popular attraction at the zoo, and almost everyone visiting here would surely stop to see the White Tiger and get a picture like I did.
