Whitetigers are Bengal tigers or tigers of mixed Bengal/Amur ancestry with pink noses, white-to-cream colored fur and fl, gray or chocolate-colored stripes.
Contrary to popular belief, whitetigers are not an endangered species in their own right, but are a mutant form of the orange Bengal tigers.
In 2004 a blue-eyed, stripeless whitetiger was born at a wildlife refuge in Alicante, Spain.
Because their coloration is widely considered striking, whitetigers have become popular attractions in zoos and entertainment that showcases exotic animals; the magicians Siegfried and Roy are famous for using several trained whitetigers in their shows.
Most whitetigers bred in captivity are generic tigers, that is, a hybrid of two subspecies — most commonly, a mix of Bengal and Siberian ancestry.
A pure whitetiger was described in the 1800s as showing ghost stripes: "A wholly whitetiger, with the stripe-pattern visible only under reflected light, like the pattern of a white tabby cat, was exhibited in the Exeter Change Menagerie in 1820 and described by Hamilton Smith".
