The White Tiger, also known as the Bengal White Tiger, is a variant of the Bengal tiger. Due to the genetic mutation, the original black stripes on a yellow background of the Bengal tiger became black stripes on a white background.
Wild white tigers are conspicuous in the wild due to the loss of protective color, resulting in a great decline in the success rate of hunting. Therefore, it is difficult to survive in the wild, and there are only more than 200 white tigers in the world, which is extremely precious.
In 1951, the indian king Mahalagamalta. When Singh found a 9-month-old little white tiger while hunting, he was deeply attracted by the cute image of the little white tiger, fascinated by it, so he took the little white tiger back to the palace to take care of it, and named it "Mohan", which means "confusing person".
Since then, the prelude to the breeding of white tigers by humans has been introduced, and it is said that the white tigers in zoos around the world are the descendants of "Mohan". There are about 20 precious white tigers in the world of Badaling Wildlife Park, the capital of the mainland.
In China, the white tiger is an "auspicious beast", together with the green dragon, suzaku and Xuanwu, known as the four gods of the four directions, and is a spirit beast representing the West.
There are also many records of white tigers in ancient China, such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Four Classics of the Western Times" in the pre-Qin Dynasty: "Two hundred and twenty miles west, the mountain where birds and mice are in the same cave, there are many white tigers and white jade on it." The water flows out of the river, while the east flows into the river. During the Han Dynasty, the "River Map and Geography" recorded: "When the Holy King is inspired by the period, there is a white tiger in the morning, and the thunder is in the four fields." The "Deed of Aiding the Gods" records: "The king is virtuous to the birds and beasts, and the white tiger moves." ”
The eyes of the white tiger are mostly blue, is it very confusing? It is revered as China's spirit beast and divine beast, and the value of a white tiger is as little as a few million dollars.
