Bengal tiger and white tiger pair up

The Delhi Zoo authorities have initiated a breeding program in which a normal male tiger has been paired with a white female tiger.

Officials at the National Zoological Park in New Delhi said that if everything goes well, then the new couple is expected to deliver their first litter by September 2018.

Visitors would be able to see them in October, as the zoo plans to introduce them to the public during the Wildlife Week.

Currently, the zoo has 12 tigers, seven of which are white tigers and five of which are Royal Bengal tigers. This mating is being facilitated to introduce better genes and better offspring.
