History:
Because of the rarity of white Siberian tigers in the wild, almost all of these creatures were bred in captivity. While there is a large and sustainable amount of these animals in preserves and zoos around the world, one hasn’t been seen in the wild since the mid 20th’ century. Due to the endangered nature of Siberian tigers as a whole and the species’ close similarity to the Bengal variant, white Siberian tigers in captivity are often bred with Bengals, making them only 50% Siberian.
