Home comforts for rare white tiger cub Reuters.com

Jan. 28 - A rare white tiger cub is being raised in a German home until he is big enough to join other large cats in a safari park.

There are about 250 white tigers living in captivity -- 80 of them are owned by the German entertainers Siegfried and Roy in Los Angeles.

When he's old enough, Pipo will live at the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen.

Awwww ... kittens!

[To Hell With Poverty]

Eeeeee, is that your kitty? I love him!

[Stoat]

Eeeeee, is that your kitty?

Unfortunately no  :-( 

I found the picture someplace on the internet and decided that I had to have it   :-)

I would love to have the job that this German couple has, but in just a few months that cute tiger cub will be able to easily rip my furry stoat head right off in about a half second

 

I love him!

Me too....the fisheye camera lens makes that pic particularly fun   :-)

[To Hell With Poverty]

Me too! I saw a program on TV a little while ago about a woman who raised baby clouded leopards until they were old enough to place in a zoo. SO lucky!

But yeah, my husband is always reminding me that my total lack of fear would be my (literal, limb-from-limb) undoing for sure! ;)

There was a similar show on raising polar bear cubs! They were adorable but as they grew, they got less adorable and more frightening.
