The Rewa white tiger is a rare subspecies of the Bengal tiger known for its striking white fur and black stripes. This unique coloration is due to a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation. The Rewa white tiger was first bred in captivity in the 1950s in the Rewa state of India, where it became famous for its beauty and rarity. These tigers are not a separate species but rather a color variant of the Bengal tiger. They are typically larger than their orange counterparts and possess the same physical characteristics, such as powerful muscles and sharp claws. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect both the Rewa white tiger and its natural habitat.
