Blow this up and compare the stripes on this tigers left side(the Roy side), and compare that with the tiger in the middle in the photo below with the "straight eyes." Convince me it is not the same tiger. And take all the time you need. The picture of Frosty that Paul mentions in the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED article was published with out anybodys approval. After it was, eyes became such an issue, that to point to "improved breeding practices" and my stock is better then your stock, a lot of eyes magically improved. In the zoo field as well as the entertainment field, as well as the "I have no business having them field." At about the same time, "this is a different bloodline totally unrelated" started appearing in the "private animal sector." The color of the eyes below is the color that I am very familiar with, with a rare "slight blue tinting" around the iris.

Wade, they are unmistakably the same tiger, and it is Neva. In the bottom picture, Sitarra is on the left, and Shasadee is on the right. These three beautiful animals were their founding stock. Their show was spectacular, and we were fortunate to see it on four different occasions. Although we used to go to Vegas every year, we have not returned since Mr. Roy's unfortunate accident.

Mary Ann,
I was flown into Vegas hours after the birth of their first white cubs in 1984. Add that to my first year on Ringling and it doesn't get much better then that. I'll give you a laugh about that trip, when I see you and Joe next week.
Wade
Wade, we are very much looking forward to seeing you and sharing stories.
Mary Ann
