How many white tigers are still alive today?
According to the most recent population estimates, there are approximately 200 white tigers still alive today. The majority of these tigers are found in captivity in zoos and wildlife parks, with only a small number living in the wild. White tigers are a rare color variant of the Bengal tiger, and they are not considered a separate species. Their white coloration is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the production of melanin, the pigment that gives animals their color.
