Odin swims!

The BIG cat who likes getting wet and wild

Odin is in Vallejo, which isn't far from where I live. My girlfriend and I are probably going to visit him in the near future.

I think the look on his face while swimming is cute in a sort of evil way. I wonder if all cats make that face when swimming under water, or just him?

EDIT: The video linked in that article is kinda cool, too.

That really sucks, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I guess I'll get to see what his non-swimming face looks like when my girlfriend and I go see him.

He seems to look fairly average in the last photo, for a 9 foot white tiger that is...

What? Sorry to bring bad news about what? It's not really a tiger? It's not really swimming? It's not really named Odin?

What does the fact that white tigers are genetic defects have to do with Odin the swimming tiger?

That there is the possibility of it having genetic defects.

Just never mind. Your questions seem hostile so pretend I did not say anything. I will not check this thread.

Did you read the link that noodlebee posted? All of that about white Bengal tigers being the result of intentional inbreeding and potentially having severe health problems was sure news to me.

A quote from the article: "For years we have railed against supporting facilities that breed and exhibit white tigers because of the abuse involved in producing them."

What I read in that link, if true, could very well keep me from going to see white Bengal tigers at the zoo.

so would Sigfried and Roy have cared for bred these animals in such a way? I'm quite curious then because that would mean it was their "biggest" secret ever.
