I. Read the passage below to find out about the almost
extinct white tiger.

Wild white tigers are now very rare. They are usually

located on the mainland of southeastern Asia and in central
and southern India. Those living on islands have almost

disappeared. Most of them are found in zoos or wildlife
sanctuaries.

The white tiger is about three metres long and weighs
approximately 180-258 kg.

It has blue eyes, and a pink nose. It has a creamy white
fur covered with red stripes. The white Bengal tiger lives in

grassy or swampy areas and forests, where it can be well
camouflaged.

The white tigers are good swimmers, but very poor climbers.
In spite of being slow runners, they are stealthy enough to

catch any prey in their sight. White tigers are solitary animals
who mostly hunt at night.

Now fill in the bubbles in the web diagram with the most
important facts that you have read about the white tiger.
