Is there such thing as a black tiger?

Yes, there are black tigers. They belong to the subspecies Panthera tigris tigris, which is native to the Sundarbans, a mangrove forest located at the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh and India. Black tigers are melanistic, meaning they have an excess of black pigment in their fur. This is a rare colour variation, and black tigers are believed to make up only about 5% of the population in the wild.
