Rare Black Tiger in Similipal Tiger Reserve

Recently, the death of a Rare Black Tiger was reported in the Similipal Tiger Reservein Odisha.

About

  • Tigers bear a distinctive dark stripe on a light background — either golden or white.
  • A rare variation in pattern, distinguished by broad stripes fused together, has also been observed among both captive and wild tiger populations. 

Pseudo-melanism

  • This pseudo-melanism, unlike true melanism, is characterised by unusually high melanin deposition.
  • Pseudo-melanism is linked to only one mutation in Transmembrane Aminopeptidase Q (Taqpep).
  • This is the same gene that is responsible for similar traits in other cat species.
  • Pseudo-melanism is caused by a hidden or recessive gene.
  • A cub gets from both parents two copies of each gene — the recessive gene manifests itself only if the dominant one is absent.
  • This means two tigers with normal patterns carrying the recessive gene will have to breed for a one-in-four probability of birthing a black cub.
  • Recessive genes are, however, rare. As a result, it is unlikely that two unrelated tigers will carry the same gene and then pass it on to a cub together.
  • A black tiger may succeed in a small founding population forced for generations to inbreed in isolation, offering the recessive gene a far higher chance to show up.
