Details
The white tiger often gets misunderstood as an albino tiger, but the color is actually the result of a pigment genetic mutation. The mutation suppresses the red and yellow pigments so that the yellow fur turns white, but leaves the black pigment intact. That's why the white tiger still keeps its black stripes.
