I can adopt tigers and occasinally get a white tiger, but i've never had a tiger give birth to a white tiger.I've had about one hundred tiger babies (not exagerating) and the've all been regular. Any ideas why?

A couple people said on another thread (but I can't remember which one) that white babies won't show up until the 3rd generation... If you are well passed that generation already, the only thing I could think of as a possible cause is graphics.  You're probably set on high already, since you can see the adult white bengal skins, maybe it is a video card-specific thing. :? Or, maybe you need to have 2 white bengals breed.  Sorry all I can offer you are some ideas, but I don't have a definitive answer.  I hope you figure it out!!

Technically, that's not quite true. I had several jaquars, regular brown colored, and they had babies. One baby was, like the parents, brownish - the OTHER baby was coal black. So, it is possible! ;)

But then the babies would grow up and be orange !!! :><
@ csleesburg : I haven't had a black jaguar yet, but I had a baby cheetah which had a different set of spots, but, just like the adults, I think it's an animal specific thing. Someone should do some file searching and see if there's a baby variant skin for the bengal.

I just experienced my first white tigers yesterday - wasn't even aware that the game included this feature!  I'm assuming it's random (hubby thought it might be a bug) but so far I haven't been able to get any baby white tigers, either - even with a breeding pair of white tigers as parents.  Too bad, really, but I guess I'll just have to keep trying - oh drat!   :D

i had a VERY weird thing happen. i bought one male tiger and one female tiger. the female was the first one i bought, and she was white. i was like, OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSh! I took a picture of it, and its m,y desktop, and i took about tne pics of it. then, all of a sudden, my orange male started to turn white! it was sooooo weird! he was kind iof blending white, like it didn't happen all at once! it was so odd!i have some pics of them but i don't know how to put them on.

Okay, i've started a new tiger breeding program. I started with six female white tigers. They've already given birth, so i have twelve baby tigers. They're all normal. Once they grow up, i'll breed them and see if  they'll have white babies.

I think I just had some third gen babies from 1st gen orange female, white male.  I didn't pay attention to what they were, but I'll look and see what I've got.

I looked yesterday and no white babies here either.  Maybe no white babies exist.

These White Baby Tiger sightings sound sorta like "I saw Bigfoot" stories. No one has any pics as proof!  :whistle

:hehe  My thoughts exactly!!  How can we get people to either post the evidence or fess up that they had no white tigers!?!? :grrr  You can't tell me that so many people would have a white bengal birth and not take a screenshot!!  I think I would take a whole roll!!  (I love the new emoticons!!! :wtg )

:idea Hey, what if an admin started a "Special Contest" for the Best White Bengal Tiger Baby Screenshot!?!?  (Pass on the idea to admins!!)

I guess nobody has yet, but I'm working on a project that involves a zoo with lots of tigers to see if it is possible to really get white tiger babies. So far, I've gotten 2 litters and they're all been normal. I'll keep working at it even though I don't have much time.
