ReplyDeleteThanks bettyl.
DeleteI can't help but noticing that the tigers look a little flabby. Maybe that's because they're in captivity and can't run to hunt.

Yes, they do look little bit out of shape. As you rightly pointed out, due to their lack of exercise and the relatively small size of their enclosure.
Deletei played a facebook game for a while where the introduction of white tigers -and the possibility of breeding them and releasing them to the wild- stirred up quite the controversy. i was told then that real zoos had recently been prohibited from breeding them anymore because of inbreeding. they do occur naturally in the wild, but aren't as common because the gene is recessive.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures are great! it looks like the zoo has a beautiful enclosure for them. our zoo doesn't have white tigers, but i bet they'd be popular here.
Great to know that we share similar interests in Nature as well as Sherlock Holmes!
DeleteI hope your zoo gets to have these big cats sometime in the near future...
They are such majestic animals -- I do wish they could live in the wild but I imagine the zoo is a safer environment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the zoo being a safer place...
DeleteWhat a beautiful animal. You captured them nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with YSB this week.
The tigers look so soft in their nap. I just want to look at them forever.
ReplyDeleteThey are humongous!
