The white tiger is white with black stripes, pink paws and ice blue eyes. All subspecies of tigers can carry the recessive genes to code for a white tiger; however, white tigers born in their native habitat rarely survive due to their lack of camouflage.

The Mirage welcomes its newest additions to Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat - white, white-striped and golden tiger cubs! The public will be able to see these rare and adorable cubs in a special nursery created for them in the Secret Garden beginning Friday, June 13, 2008, which happens to be Siegfried's 69th birthday.

	White tigers ARE NOT a subspecies, they are a genetic variation.
	White tigers ARE NOT albinos. The coloration of these animals is due to leucism, which is a lack of dark pigmentation.

Almost all white tigers in zoological facilities are descended from one Bengal tiger named Mohan that was found in India in the 1950s.
