During the last 100 years, merely 12 white tigers have been spotted in the wild in India; giving an approximate proportion of 1 white tiger for every 10,000 normal pigmented (orange) tigers. The white tiger's origin was recorded in India during the start of the HB Mughal period from 1556 to 1605 A.D. The first modern case of a white tiger being captured was in 1915. He was caught by the local maharajah who kept the tiger until its death.
