The white tiger is the offspring of oridinary orange Bengal tigers that carry an unusual gene resulting in their white fur, chocolate stripes and blue eyes.
King Zulu, Audubon Zoo's Beloved White Tiger, died at age 20 in 2017. Born at the Nashville Zoo in 1996, the beloved tiger had been part of the Audubon family since 1999. His counterpart, Rex, died in 2012. King Zulu was a personable cat and really loved interacting with staff and guests alike. He greeted everyone with a chuff (tiger purr). In his younger years, he loved swimming in the moat, especially in the summer. He loved to try and tackle the giant boomer ball in the water.
