White tigers have been on the endangered list just as long as they have been known to Biologist. This being said, there is no recorded time of when they appeared on that list. Their white fur is extremely rare and can be worth a big sum of money for traders. Only four thousand to six thousand White Tigers are estimated to be present. That’s about one White tiger in every ten thousand normal tigers.
If some were discovered in the wild, the best thing that could be done to protect them would be never to discuss the fact that they had been born, much less that they were living or where they were. They are too rare, and too many people would be tempted to profit from the sale of the information, if not try to poach the actual tiger themselves.

The biggest reason why so many of them are in zoos and other captivity centers is that they don’t have enough camouflage to protect themselves from poachers unlike the orange tigers that can at least protect themselves a bit.
Although zoo's save these types of tigers, they are also a danger. they encourage inbred breeding which is all around a huge dilemma for White and normal tigers. Regular tigers are killed or sold to an exotic animal trade. the deformed ones (which is eight out of ten of the cubs) are killed. Does the zoo's tell you that?
