These White Bengal Tigers, born this year through artificial reproduction, are being raised at Taiyuan Zoo, where they are grouped according to age.
Known for their unique white coats, these Bengal Tigers carry a rare genetic trait that appears only when both parents possess the gene—a natural occurrence in only one in 10,000 births.
In addition to Taiyuan Zoo, Xipu Park in Liaoyang City welcomed a quadruplet white tiger cubs born in August to a mother named Meng. These cubs made their public debut on November 8, showcasing their charm to visitors.
Raising these cubs requires a dedicated team due to the demanding care involved. During the first two weeks, each cub must be fed up to eight times daily.
Currently, the cubs are about 70 to 80 centimeters long and weigh around 20 kilograms, and they’re expected to be ready for more public interactions soon.
White Bengal Tigers have long captured the interest of zoos and circuses for their striking appearance.
Besides Taiyuan Zoo and Xipu Park, Jinan Wildlife Park also reported the birth of White Bengal Tiger cubs this year, signaling a remarkable increase in the population of these rare and enchanting animals in China.
