WHITE TIGERS AT THE MIRAGE
|
The open-air home of Siegfried & Roy's Royal White Tigers is available for
public viewing throughout the day and evening. Siegfried & Roy have
dedicated their lives to preserving these rare animals, and their efforts have
helped save them from total extinction.
After securing the offspring of a perfectly matched pair of these beautiful
animals bequeathed to this country in 1958 by the Maharaja of Rewa,
Siegfried & Roy established their own Royal White Tiger breeding line.
Unlike conventional tigers, which have black and gold markings, the white
tiger is white with black stripes, pink paws and ice blue eyes. The purest of
these animals are snow white and have no stripes. There are only a few
dozen white tigers in the world, which makes them rarer than the panda bear.
The Tiger Habitat contains many features designed to enhance the comfort of
the animals and provide spectacular viewing for guests. The open-air
environment features a swimming pool with fountains and simulated mountain
terrain for the tigers' enjoyment and the public's entertainment. The facility's
white setting gives the animals a sense of security by allowing them to blend
into the background, and special slanted glass affords better viewing,
eliminates glare and helps control the temperature.
