If we mate the blue tiger with the golden tiger do we get green tigers?

From the thumbnail, it looks like the tiger has a wicked beard going on, but then it turns out it was just a rock in the background. As a consequence it just looks like a tiger with the color turned off.

It's not a separate species, just a rare color morph.

If it's anything like the blue version of bengal cats, then that rendering is probably pretty close to how it would actually look.

If the blue is a dilute of black, then some of those would have been born pure black, too.

There is another "blue" animal that recently went extinct (70's) The Blue Walleye :(

Once so plentiful in Lake Erie it was fished commercially, then there was a collapse and extinction.

Freaking sad too, would love to have seen one in real life (and release).

There's a really cool book called Blue Tiger that was written 'round 1910 about a missionary named Caldwell who stalked/was stalked by a blue tiger.

“The markings of the animal were marvellously beautiful. The ground colour seemed to be a deep shade of maltese, changing into almost deep blue on the under parts. The stripes were well defined, and so far as I was able to make out similar to those of a tiger of the regular type. [...]

We hunted the animal for five weeks. The brute ranged in the vicinity of two or three villages about seven miles apart, but was seen most frequently near Lung-tao. He was as elusive as a will o’ the wisp, killing a dog or goat in one village and by the time we had hurried across the mountains appearing in another spot a few miles away, leaving a trail of terrified natives who flocked to our camp to recount his depredations. He was in truth the “Great Invisible” [referring to elusiveness of tigers] and it seemed impossible that we should not get him sooner or later, but we never did. Once we missed him by a hair’s breadth [...]

The grass-filled lair lay shimmering in the breathless heat, silent save for the echoes of the bleating goats. Crouched behind the screen of branches, for three long hours we sat in the patchwork shade,–motionless, dripping with perspiration, hardly breathing,–and watched the shadows steal slowly down the narrow ravine. It was a wild place [...] the only entrance was by the tiger tunnels which drove their twisting way through the murderous growth far in toward its gloomy heart. [...] I knew it was six o’clock and in half an hour another day of disappointment would be ended. Suddenly at the left and just below us there came the faintest crunching sound as a loose stone shifted under a heavy weight; then a rustling in the grass.”

Reminds me of my video game youth when you'd come across an enemy that was made of exactly the same sprites, but was a slightly different color. And it was 10 times harder to kill.

I bet this tiger is 10 times harder to kill.
