This large, solitary, stalk and ambush hunter takes medium to large prey in its native India. Their striped camouflage helps them hid in tall grass while stalking or lying in ambush. Meet Neena, a white tiger. White Tigers are no albino. They have pigmented stripes and blue eyes. Their unique color is the result of a recessive gene. Hobbes is a heterozygous orange tiger. He carries the white gene because on of his parents was white.

Fun Fact: All tigers have white spots behind their ears. It is thought that these spots help mothers and their cubs find one another in the dense forest.quot;
