The facade looks very much like Miami's in comparison to the barred front. I wish somebody spoke Japanese.

I've seen that cartoon white tiger face before. The Takarazuka Zoo recieved a male white tiger named Shirotan, and his white sister, named Shirorin in 1985. Their parents were Bhim and Sumita, and they came from a litter of five white tiger cubs, born at the Cincinnati Zoo, which were claimed as the largest litter of white tigers ever. They were featured in People magazine. The Bristol Zoo had at least one litter of five born before this, and possibly two. The five born to Bhim and Sumita consisted of two striped and three stripeless. One of the five killed a keeper at the Miami Zoo. That was one of the striped ones. I gather the other striped one went to Takarazuka Zoo. Shirotan was previously named Jaipur. One of their littermates, a female named Chandra and later "Snow Queen", went to the Akiyoshidai Safari Park in 1985, and was paired with a whate male who was a son of Bhim and Kamala. Another pair of white tigers, named Arun (the male) and Kailosh, cubs of Bhim and Sundari, went to the Utopia Zoo Park, Ichikawa City, Chiba, Japan, in 1990, which apparently did'nt exist and was a front for something else. Their littermate, Calcutta, went to the African Lion Safari in Cambridge, Ontario. In 1986 a pair of white tigers, named Thunder and Alice, cubs of Bhim and Tapi, went to the Tohoku Safari Park in Nihon Matsu, Japan. All these white tigers were grand children of Tony and Kesari, and all were fathered by Bhim. This information comes from our anonymous friend who knows more about white tigers than anybody except Mary Ann and Wade Burck.
Paul,
Take me off that list of people who know everything about white tigers. I have been getting "schooled," and I an forever appreciative and grateful for that education.
Wade
Wade, we are at least as grateful to you, believe me.
Mary Ann
Paul, you know very well that you know more about white tigers than I do, with the possible exception of modern-day descendants which is my specialty, and which are becoming fewer and fewer.
Mary Ann
Paul, I need to clarify this with "modern-day known American descendants".
