No sex please: India 'shy' white tiger refuses to mate
BBC ^ | 8/11/15

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.

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.

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.

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

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