Description
leucism happens in only 1 out of 10,000 tiger births [1]
most are born from selective breeding, which gives them other health problems with their leucism [1]
"Inbreeding increases the chances of genetic disorders, deformities, and other major health problems due to the lack of genetic diversity. This means that these tigers are often born with severe health conditions and deformities that result in a lifetime of chronic pain and suffering. Common issues include heart defects, optic nerve damage, immune system deficiencies, shortened limbs, cleft palates, etc. Still, you’ll never see these on big cat Instagram accounts because they’re often hidden away or euthanized."
