by wearing masks on the back of their


heads.Tigers only attack from behind,so the

always facing them!another method used to
deter tigers is Scarecrows-which gives electric

pure white to white with choclate brown or
black stripes.Many white tigers have blue
eyes,but some have amber or even greenish
eyes.White is a very,very unusual color for a
white tiger.Of the thousands of tigers in the
wild,only a few are white.There are many white
tigers in captivity,though-and almost all of
them are descended from a wild white Bengel

in the 1950s.

America today are descended from Mohan and
are higly inbred.Some white tigers have also
been mated with other tiger
subspecies,creating what are called hybrid
tigers.
