Thanks for the beautiful picture!

Sigfried and Roy are maintaining a Habitat in Las Vegas that keeps white tigers also.

“The white tiger is white with black stripes, pink paws and ice blue eyes. All subspecies of tigers can carry the recessive genes to code for a white tiger; however, white tigers born in their native habitat rarely survive due to their lack of camouflage.

White tigers ARE NOT a subspecies, they are a genetic variation.

White tigers ARE NOT albinos. The coloration of these animals is due to leucism, which is a lack of dark pigmentation.

Almost all white tigers in zoological facilities are descended from one Bengal tiger named Mohan that was found in India in the 1950s.”

We lived in Vegas for several years. These guys have always been committed. Can only imagine what they have done since the 80’s. Can say they have a huge property.
