What is the approximate current global estimate for white tigers held in captivity?

Approximately 200

Since the white tiger vanished from the wild, its entire population exists under human supervision in various settings, including zoos, circuses, and rescue sanctuaries globally. Current estimates placed on this population generally converge around a total of approximately 200 individuals worldwide. This number contrasts sharply with the remaining wild Bengal tiger population, which is estimated to be around 3,500 across India. Although India harbors about half of these captive white tigers—around 100—it is important to note that some reports concerning the US captive total are significantly higher when including private collections, potentially reaching near 5,000; however, the established global count referencing established zoological populations stands at roughly 200.
