White Tiger

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.

Audubon Zoo

Audubon Zoo is an American zoo located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is part of the Audubon Nature Institute. It covers 58 acres and is home to over 2,000 animals. It is located in a section of Audubon Park in Uptown New Orleans, on the Mississippi River side of Magazine Street. A habitat in African Savanna houses white rhinos Bonnie and Yvonne.

Hunted for the supposed medicinal power of their horn, Southern Rhinos were the first subspecies to reach the brink of extinction in our lifetime. Thanks to conservation efforts, they are now the most abundant kind of rhinos in the world. They are easily distinguished by their broad lips that re used for grazing on the African savannahs.

Thanks a lot Juliana
