Guadalajara, Mexico - Five Bengal tigers, four of them white males, have debuted at a zoo in western Mexico.
The litter, which was born in April and went on display Wednesday, was the result of a natural breeding program, Guadalajara Zoo director Francisco Rodriguez said.
It was the sixth litter of white tigers born at the zoo, which is known for having produced the cat that attacked Las Vegas entertainer Roy Horn of the Siegfried and Roy act.
The tigers' father, Nino, has sired every litter born at the zoo.
Zoológico Guadalajara started operating in 1988, as a project to promove conservation and research; being the first true zoo of the city, and the largest in the state of Jalisco, the park has been enormously successful and is one of Guadalajara's most popular touristic attractions. |
