This white tiger was pacing around his den which made it quite difficult to get a sharp shot.

The Siberian tiger, or Amur tigers as they are called, is the largest cat in the world. These solitary animals are now only found in the southeast region of Russian. They are also located in small numbers across the border in northeast China and north Korea.
It has its own unique stripe pattern. Unlike other tigers however, it has fewer and paler stripes, but also manes, which help keep it warm in winter.
During winter it thrives in its snowy terrain, roaming many miles in search of prey within birch forests. Being at the top of the food chain, its prey includes elks, boar, bears and deer, but also smaller mammals.
Many thanks for you comments. Have a beautiful day!
Paro, Bhutan.
Taktsang or ‘Tiger’s Nest’ Monastery near Paro. Completed in 1692, the temple hangs on a cliff at 3,120 metres (10,200 feet), some 700 metres (2,300 feet) above the bottom of Paro valley. The place is highly sacred to the Bhutanese in that they believe Guru Rinpoche, the father of Bhutanese Buddhism landed here on the back of tigress.
