The super adorable Khan. When we arrived at his den he chuffed. A chuff is a tiger's way of greeting someone or another friendly tiger.
He just drank and drank the milk that we gave him. Khan is a Royal White tiger. Notice how his stripes are coffee coloured and not black? That distiguishes him from non-royalty. LOL. If you touch a tigers fur, its really soft unlike the fur on a lion.
White tigers are not albinos contrary to some beliefs. They are simply blondes of the tiger world. As you may know, the blond hair gene is a mutation in humans and likewise with tigers, if a white mates with an orange, the resulting offspring will most likely be orange. Almost all white tigers have blue eyes.
This is Shikana, she's a gorgeous Bengal tiger
