Currently OFF EXHIBIT. You can see White Tigers when Cat Canyon opens summer 2012. The white tiger is not an albino. Instead, the white coat and icy blue eyes are simply a rare expression of recessive genes. Estimates predict that only one out of every 10,000 tigers will display the striking black and white striped pattern.
