I don't think they should be considered endangered if they're an artificial species...

How are they an artificial species? Ligers are possible as well as white tigers and lions.

Possible but not natural, as in not occuring in nature. Therefor, they are artificial.

Mmmmmm no they are normal white tigers and lions are in fact produced by nature,and where originally white because of all the snow they had to adapt and change color to white so that they could hunt more easily. And at the end of the Ice Age when there was practically less snow and eventually became a grass land they again had to adapt to the grass color as to their present colors now the white color on their gene's still exists but only rarely surface on each generation.the fact that white bears exists raise the question of why can't there be white tigers and white lions.

I think he means is that lions and tigers are not the same species and cannot reproduce fertile offspring

White tigers/lions to occur in nature but they are killed or left to die by the mothers because it makes it impossible for them to hunt. So, you will not see a adult white tiger or lion roaming in nature. We get so many of these creatures through inbreeding. Tigers and Lions do not exist on the same continent (yes, there is a very small population of lions in India in a preserve) so these animals are bread to create ligers or tigons. They usually die very young and have mental issues. These are not rare cats, they are man made.

Thank you! All funding that is spent on 'white Bengal tigers' and 'ligers' and now these guys is a complete waste. The white gene is established through inbreeding, which results in massive complications for the animal. The presence of white tigers especially takes up space that could have been filled with healthy, non-inbred 'normal' coloured Bengal tigers, so many zookeepers and people with this knowledge are against the breeding of white bengals. Stop wasting money on human entertainment and put the money towards conserving the real, healthy tigers.
