Origin of The White Tigers
In 1951, In India, Maharaja M. Singh found a male white Cub who's mother had been killed. He named that Cub "Raj".

When Raj reached adulthood, he was bred to a Normal tiger named "Begum". They produced three litters of cubs, but none of them were white. When Raj was bred to one of his own daughters from the second litter however, four white cubs were born.

One of these white cubs was named "Mohini" who was then bred to her uncle "Sampson" and two of their Kids were sent to the National Zoo, Washington D.C. where they were bred to each other and produced, among other cubs, "Kesari" who was the foundation for the Cincinnati Zoo's line of White Tigers....and this way the lineage continued.

In short, ALL of the White Tigers you see in pictures are descendants of Raj...
