The birth of white tiger cubs is in itself an accomplishment as few zoos in the world have been successful at breeding white tigers. The zoo in Austria has become famous for its achievements and its successes are due to breeding tigers with a healthy genetic background and also to the care and professionalism of the staff employed here, a statement made by a visiting doctor noted.
The White Zoo, situated some 150 km outside Austria‘s capital city, is very popular among tourists and local as it houses several albino animals.
White tigers are very popular in zoos. They are a variant of the Bengal tiger, it has the distinctive black stripes but their fur is white as it is lacking pheomelanin.
