Bengal Endangered Tiger White
Ask questions about bengal endangered tiger white cats during a cattery visit.
Such animals are bred in captivity, but the problem of inbreeding is very acute due to breeding depressions in the offspring, so these animals are crossed with their orange cousins. To own such an animal is a matter of prestige and the average price for them is about $60,000. All existing species are descendants of Mohan, a chinchilla species found in 1951. Their specific coloration is due to a double recessive allele in their gene pool. A chinchilla kitten is only likely to occur when both parents have this allele. Many wildlife specialists doubt the expediency of breeding these animals who fill up space in zoos while normal animals are tottering on the brink of extinction.

There is a small quantity of these animals in existence, only about 500 individuals.
