How cute! She was born in South Africa and is extremely rare not only in being white rather than orange, but also by having no stripes. I believe only a few similar captive tigers are on record as being born with this condition. She appears healthy in all respects, though the coloration would normally be a detriment to stealth in the wild. That's why nearly all 'white' big cats who survive infancy do so in a zoo or a wildlife preserve, not in the true wild where they tend to stick out like a sore thumb to their would-be prey. Plus, Bengal tigers are only found in Asia unless they are raised elsewhere under the care of humans.
And hey, look, she grew up instantly too...
