Wade: I wanted to show you something at: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/photos/white-lion-and-tiger-cubs-at-german-zoo-slideshow/ This reminds me of Andy Goldfarb, the former tiger trainer at MarineWorld/AfricaUSA walking a white tiger cub along with a lion cub and a mountain lion cub around the park together. The white tiger cub may have been the property of Josip Marcan, since they used to handrear tiger cubs for him and Siegfried & Roy. Take care. Sincerely Paul PS: Toronto Zoo has two pandas now.

Wade: I was looking at this website of old historic photographs from the US National Zoo. Here is one of Mohini: http://sirismm.si.edu/siahistory/imagedb/92-3571.jpg There are also pictures of Thylacines at the National Zoo, and of gorillas, including the second gorilla born in the United States. Take care. Sincerely Paul

Wade: This is old film footage of Mohini at the White House with President Eisenhower in 1960. I wish I knew what they were saying. I can't hear anything at this library computer. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/sciencefair/2013/02/06/ike-tiger-smithsonian/1896759/ Take care. Sincerely Paul
