White tigers, like this one, are leucistic rather than albino. Albinism is a complete lack of pigment, whilst leucism results in reduced pigmentation.

#FelidFriday The jaguar, third largest of the cats after the tiger and lion. A magnificent and powerful predator ... with a cute little tongue. :)

#FelidFriday The jungle cat (Felis chaus), found in Asia and the Middle East. This photo is so old I can't actually remember where/when I took it (it was taken on ACTUAL FILM and scanned into the computer).

#FelidFriday DID YOU KNOW? The "black panther" is not a species of its own. It's just a term used for melanistic leopards and jaguars (though it originally only applied to black leopards). This is a black jaguar from Chester Zoo.
