Now on ScienceBlogs: Oldest Human-Made Object in Space
The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.
Corpus Callosum is written by a psychiatrist at a small community hospital somewhere in the USA. Email to cc.scienceblogger at gmail dot com.

Well, thank goodness these aren't the white tigers with the other recessive traits expressed, or these comments wouldn't be quite as positive.

I wrote a post about how inbred white tigers in captivity are (and how you usually don't see the deformed or sick ones) and it has attracted many of the same style of comments. It's actually a bit disconcerting to have comm enters acknowledge that these animals are unnatural and it's cruel to keep breeding them, but say they love white tigers so much that they don't really care.

I love tigers so much. But I don't know if I'd have the heart to look right into their eyes. I'm afraid of them...thanks for showing us things about them...

It's the stupidity-on-parade that I find depressing.

It's sad to know that people still argue and fight about breeding tigers in protected habitats, when the issue is not about inbreeding, it's about trying to save a species. Perhaps, if the same energy were given to supporting advances in cloning for breeding, money for wildlife preserves and as many people who hate on tigers in captivity quit bothering those trying to save them and hated on the predators - we wouldn't have this problem. Thank you for this picture. It allows me to give it to my son's class, and hopefully help encourage the next generation to grow up with a love of tigers in their hearts and try and continue the fight to protect them.

Helooo every body. First- brittany yer a spazzo with a problem. second- this pic is cool, but white tigewrs should not be bred, and they r. the problem with that is that the tigers that r not white r killed or given to private owners hoo cant take care of a tiger(nobody can- its true so dont even:)

There is no such thing as a natural white tiger. They are inbreeded to get the white fur. All white tigers are cross eyed, sickly and unable to live in the wild. They are often completly dependent, thats why so many trainers for shows want them. Any one owning or breeding them should be locked up forever!
