Officials at the Alipore zoo in the Indian city of Kolkata (Calcutta) say their attempts to mate a young tiger have been unsuccessful with the big cat showing little interest in mating.

Vishal, the 10-year-old white tiger, has so far spurned the advances of tigress Rupa, living in the adjoining enclosure, an official told the BBC.

Libido enhancers have also failed to spur him into action, he said.

Not so white privilege ping!

I remember in the Bible that before he passed, King David had a woman come in so he could be kept warm.

If those two tigers just cuddle, that would be a start.

I think you’re on to something....

[rigelkentaurus]

why would he want to bring a new tiger cub into captivity?

[Sacajaweau]

That’s one ugly tiger.....

[tumblindice]

That is definitely one butt-ugly tigger. Is that him?

[SevenofNine]

OMG don’t influence South Park creators LOL!

[dfwgator]

Then again, Maybe Rupa is just ugly:

More like Rupaul......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

One day when I was 16 and my family lived on a farm with a few cows and wondering bull (we lived in open range country) was bellering and pacing the fence. My dad realized that he was responding to natures signal that one of our cows was in heat. So we ran down and opened the gate for the bull he charged right upo to the pen where the cow was let him in.

After 24 hours of pacing, bellering, sniffing, more pacing and bellering all to no avail, we opened the gate and chased out the bull.

My dad, who was never at a loss for words for any situation looked at us boys and said “He had in his head but not in his ass” and now 40 years later I have never forgotten that when evaluating breeding stock on my own farm.

I know, some liquid courage should do the trick! Beer goggles to the rescue!

They should try putting some distance between them. Tigers are not pack animals.

[CAluvdubya]

Sounds like Vishal needs a little blue pill....or two.

[Slings and Arrows]

Perhaps “Rupa” is Hindi for “Helen Thomas.”

"I'll tug his fur!" said Congressman David Wu.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Maybe the tiger is gay?

[insert thoroughly tasteless Sigfried and Roy joke here]

[tumblindice]

He belongs to the He-man woman hater's club?

[Hot Tabasco]

Libido enhancers have also failed to spur him into action,

Did they try beer? That always worked for me with the ugliest of lionesses.........

[Georgia Girl 2]

Maybe he’s just not that into her. :-)

[Gefn]

Maybe tiger needs the cat version of the Kama Sutra.

And catnip.
