    The snow tiger's fur is whiter than the white tiger, and its stripes are not obvious, and the color is lighter. There are only 7 in China's zoos.

    The world's first white tiger was found in India, so the white tiger is India's national treasure. "Madeleine" from Frankfurt, Germany, is China's first snow tiger. She was born on April 12, 1990. She is 2 meters long and weighs about 120 kilograms. She has a beautiful body. Except for a little brown on the tail and legs, her body is almost snow-white, which makes her look elegant and noble.
