*Zoo's often try to avoid this by breeding them with other tiger sub-species but this can lead to birth defects.
*Another rare color of tigers is called The Golden Tiger.
*The Golden Tiger gene is a recessive gene, Golden Tigers are extremely rare.
*Sometimes a Golden Tiger is bred with a White Tiger and they can sometimes produce a White Strip-less Tiger.
*Tigers are not group animals, they are very solitary animals.
* Tigers are also very good swimmers and can be found a lot in ponds or rivers in their habitat, The only other feline to share the tigers love of water is the Jaguar.
*The Siberian Tiger found in Russia is almost extinct, with only 40 in the wild since the 1940's!!!

They also have small spots within the rosettes on their coats, while leopards have plain rosettes.Jaguar
