Can Sumatran tiger be white

Sumatran tigers cannot be white; they are characterized by their orange coat with black stripes. The white coloration seen in some tiger subspecies, such as the Bengal tiger, is due to a genetic mutation that is not present in Sumatran tigers. Additionally, the white tiger is not a separate species but rather a color variant, which has been bred in captivity. Therefore, Sumatran tigers will always retain their distinctive orange and black appearance in the wild.
