A leucistic pigmentation variation of the mainland tiger is the white or bleached tiger. In the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, as well as in the Sunderbans area and particularly in the old State of Rewa, it is occasionally known to exist in the wild. Although it bears the classic black tiger stripes, the rest of its coat is white or almost white.
