Description
The natural heritage in India is as rich and diverse as the cultural
heritage. The wildlife sanctuaries and the national parks here give you an
essence of the same. Nestled in this rich land is the Royal
Bengal Tiger, the only home to the Royal Tiger Cat. The largest living
member of the cat family has a rather graceful built and gait. Bengal Tiger is
the fastest running animal. Its length can measure up to 10 feet and has a
weight ranging from 180 to 260 kgs.
The habitat of this elegant swift mammal (Bengal Tiger) varies from the swamps
of the Sunderbans to the desert land at Ranthambore, from the foothills of
Himalayas at Corbett National Park to Bandipur in the peninsular India. In 1973
was launched the Project Tiger to get hold of the dwindling count of the indian
tigers. Around 9 wildlife sanctuaries were declared as tiger reserves, which has
now increases to 19 covering an area of 33,000 sq. kms in 14 states. The beauty
of the royal bengal cat can now be seen in its natural surroundings in these
conserved areas.
If you are fascinated by the royal Bengal tiger and wish to see it in its
natural surroundings, a visit to these tiger reserves is bound to be an
enchanting one. All these reserves have the facility of tours to the forested
area to watch Bengal Tiger. One can choose a suitable mode to tour. It can be by
jeep or on the elephant backs. Corbett National Park was the first one covered
under the Project Tiger. Named after the famous environmentalist Jim Corbett, it
houses diverse flora and fauna and has weather suited for flourishing wildlife.
Now........ what makes a White Tiger be go white rather than the orange yellow strip ones. Are all the tigers exhibited in the Zoological parks original Whtie Tigers?

There is a white tiger island enclosure at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast (Australia). I think there's about 3-4 there. I found the picture great and the information interesting.
