an abnormally colored coat was re-
Gently shot in the Murhi subdivisonal
forest Of the Dhenkanal state, IN
Orissa. The ground color was pure
white, while the stripes were a deep
reddish black. The tigress was in
good condition, so the unusual coloring
was not due to disease
Abnormally colored tigers are rare,
In 1899 two well-grown white tigers
were shot on the Jaipur tea estate in
the Debroghur district within a shors
time. 1t was reasonably supposed
that they were litter brothers. the
stripes in either case were SO faint
that they could only be seen in certain
lights.
The only black tiger on record Is
one that was shot many years ago In
