Singapore White Tigers

The White Tiger has always been a popular mammal to visit while at the Singapore Zoo. I suppose when they say 'white', it is the same as an Albino tiger? Albino is a term given to a living person, or animal who are born with lack of melanin pigment in parts of the body or parts. They are vulnerable to the sun and require lots of sunscreen or to keep away from the sun as much as possible. The White Tiger in Singapore is really fascinating. I would go to see it without fail, every year.

This is probably such a poor pic of the White Tiger I took recently. This one below is extracted from Wikpedia under the Singapore Zoo category.
