A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, I believe that this is the guy who breeds white Siberians.

Mary Ann,
I don't think Baudy is breeding anything these days. I am not even sure if he is still around. His place in Webster FL has been closed for a few years now. I spent alot of winters across the street from him when we wintered at the fairgrounds 86-93 and even did some work for him (mucked out a rhino pen for a week and was nearly impaled daily,,lol) He surely bred some whites, but I would doubt they were any more Siberian then any other whites. He dealt mostly in the breeding of Leopards when I was around him.
Casey,
I don't believe for one minute that they are pure Siberian, but I think that they have more Siberian blood than others. S & R came up with white Siberians, and then a snow white Siberian named Apollo a few years ago, and I thought "Yeah, right!" But when we went to see him, he was much shaggier than the others.
Robert Baudy supposedly bred a pair of white Siberians, Gorbi and Raiisa, in 1989 that went to the Beauval Zoo.

Mary Ann,
And a ti-liger is more tiger then a liger. What pure Siberians did S and R have?
Wade
Wade, Atlas and Titan are the striped white Siberians, and Apollo is the snow white Siberian, but as I said, I don't really believe that any of them are pure Siberians, just have a highr percentage of Siberian than the others do.
Mary Ann
Wade and Casey,
I have seen reference that Baudy acquired an elephant "Julie" from the Cincinnati Zoo in the mid-1970s. Does anyone know what happened to her?
Radar,
I have not heard of that elephant.
Wade
