What is the difference between white tigers and yellow tigers?
The biggest difference between yellow tigers and white tigers
is the difference in color. White tigers have blue eyes,
white fur and dark chocolate-brown stripes, while yellow
tigers have brown eyes, yellow fur and black stripes.
White male adult tigers are about 15 kg heavier and
10 cm taller than their yellow tiger counterparts.
White tigers are also more peaceful than yellow tigers.
They are less aggressive, and focus on defense.
They usually do not make preemptive attacks. As white
tigers are full of curiosity and show a careful attitude,
they are slower than yellow tigers in expanding their
domains in the safari. Nevertheless, they steadily expand
their domain, with a careful and calm approach.
