    Default black tiger history?

    Do black tigers breed true?

    What is the history behind them? I'm guessing the stripes were bred to be thicker until coverage? How many years did it take?

    Yah, selective breeding until stripes were covering the whole body. I think I've read it was done within 2 years.

    Thanks Mordalphus. I read the information somewhere, but for the life of me I haven't been able to find it again.
