| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. White tigers are a color morph of any subspecies of tiger whose fur is white or almost white, though it is not a separate subspecies. This coloration is caused by a recessive gene. A golden tabby tiger is one with an extremely rare color variation caused by a recessive gene and is currently only found in captive tigers. This book studies color variations in tigers including inbreeding, dominance, captive white tigers, and melanism.
