A Calf's Mishap in the Tiger Enclosure: A White Tiger Waits to Enjoy a Meal Before an Unexpected Turn
As a king of beasts, the tiger is feared by humans and most animals alike. However, the tiger is also called a 'cat' due to its feline resemblance and similarities in brain function.
Just like the story that Dr. Xiao Ming will explain below. One day, a young calf accidentally wandered into the tiger enclosure, immediately attracting the attention of a white tiger within the enclosure. The white tiger, seeing an easy prey, crouched, waiting for an opportunity.
However, after the white tiger initiated the attack, the scene soon became confusing. Everyone expected the calf to be in dire straits, but the story took an unexpected turn. The white tiger briefly rode on the calf, only to be thrown off, then chased by the calf in a chaotic retreat, with nowhere to hide.
The white tiger's face was filled with an unbelievable expression, probably wondering where the mistake was. Hahaha, Dr. Xiao Ming wished he could tell this tiger a proverb: 'A young calf doesn't fear a tiger!'
Dr. Xiao Ming could only say 'My Chinese teacher didn't lie to me' hahaha, and that's absolutely true. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the tiger being chased, Dr. Xiao Ming suddenly realized its cuteness.
Dr. Xiao Ming explains: A white tiger, also known as a Bengal white tiger, is a variant of the Bengal tiger, not a tiger suffering from albinism; tigers with albinism do not have markings.
The white tiger's color is due to genetic mutations, and the mutation causes white fur. Because the gene is recessive, even if both parents carry the recessive white gene, the probability of giving birth to a white tiger is only one in four, and because the color is too conspicuous, white tigers are difficult to survive in the wild.
