Animal colours: pink flamingos, rare blue animals, white albinos and black panthers, sentence 13

White tigers and white lions are not albino: a gene makes their fur pale, but they still have dark stripes or eyes, and breeding close relatives together again and again in zoos gave many white tigers health problems.

Who acts: White tigers, gene, lions · What happens: not be, make, have, breed, give · To what, where: albino, fur, dark stripes, close relatives, zoos, health problems
