This is the most special white tiger on the planet, the whole world has only one

White tigers are rare, but this tiger is even more special. It is a "pale" tiger, not a white tiger.

The white tiger is a rare species, but it is captured only by Indian photographer Nilanjan Ray, which is even more special. According to experts, the tiger is "unique" in nature.

Why? Because this tiger is not really white. It's not a white tiger, it's not albino, but it's a faded color that is "thanks to" half white and half orange. People called uncle individuals are " pale tiger" , and these are extremely rare individuals in nature.

In fact, many decades have passed before a pale tiger appeared. Nilanjan Ray said, he saw the tiger while driving in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve.

"We drove slowly across that road, then saw a" white-looking "tiger sitting on the hillside, and we looked at it, it also" gleaned "us," Ray said.

"It looks very cute, looks curious, not scary or aggressive. And then another tiger - normal orange - suddenly appeared, very close to the car".

They approached the car, helping Ray to take a closer look at the tiger and make some pictures. He said, its body size proves to be an immature tiger.

According to biologists, 'pale tiger' is not white or albino tiger but slightly different.

Some studies show that there is a mutated gene segment that causes their hair to change color , but specifically what gene is unknown because these individuals are too rare.

The nearest pale tiger appeared naturally in the 1980s in the last century, by Belinda Wright, the founder of the Natural Protection Society in India. However, Wright said that the tiger was not as "pale" as clearly this time.
