Other day,a sweet Big cat entered my e –mail inbox and that too was white.
It was a white Lion which was
in Thailand, and my daughter was playing with it. It sent chill down my spine
but the Royal beast keeper ekes out bread by giving opportunity to tourists to
have pictures with roaring animal ..
Lewis had an encounter with
White Tiger when visited a NGO which houses tigers. He played with his namesake
Lewis the Tiger. In his videos, he was seen playing with the tiger and for a
moment he lost his balance when the playful animal put his paws on his body.
White Lions and white tigers
devour good space on both print and digital platforms whenever they make appearance.
In the
National Capital of India, New Delhi, A White
tiger Vijay who hogged lime light for mauling a man in an enclosure of the
Delhi Zoo two years is back in news again.
He has fathered five white
cubs with Kalpana ,and all but one survived much to delight of hundreds of
visitors .Tipu is the only male while others who frolic with him are christened
as Neeta,Reeta and Meeta.
One of the white cubs died
of suffocation. It was devouring a piece of meat but it got stuck in the wind
pipe and the painful end came.keepers are very particular now and chop the meat
into small pieces to avert any tragedy.
White tigers are rare and only 100---150
such tigers are left in Indian zoos.experts say there are only twelve incidents
during last century when white tigers were seen in wild. Emboldened by its
successful breeding programme,authorities say that Vijay may mate again. Taking
no chance, cubs were released in the enclosures only after ten months long
close vigil by vets and Keepers. Cubs have been let loose from their cages to
move around the enclosure during the day time .
