ABOUT THE ARTWORK

White tigers carry a gene that is only present in around 1 in every 10000 tigers. White tigers are prone to having crossed eyes (a condition known as strabismus). Since white tigers have pigmented stripes and blue/blue-green eyes, they are not albinos. Due to a retinal adaptation that reflects light back to the retina, the night vision of tigers is six times better than that of humans. Tigers have more rods (responsible for visual acuity for shapes) in their eyes than cones (responsible for color vision) to assist with their night vision. The increased number of rods allows them to detect movement of prey in darkness where color vision would not be useful.
