White
Tiger Habitat -
The
Mirage Hotel
The
open-air home of Siegfried & Roy's Royal
White Tigers is available for public viewing
around the clock. Siegfried & Roy have
dedicated their lives to preserving these rare
animals, and their efforts have helped save
them from total extinction.
After
securing the offspring of a perfectly matched
pair of these beautiful animals bequested to
this country in 1958 by the Maharaja of Rewa,
Siegfried & Roy established their own
Royal White Tiger breeding line.
Unlike
conventional tigers which have black and gold
markings, the white tiger is white with black
stripes, pink paws and ice blue eyes. The
purest of these animals are snow white and
have no stripes. There are only a few dozen
white tigers in the world, which makes them
rarer than the panda bear.
The
Tiger Habitat contains a great number of features designed
to enhance the comfort of the animals and
provide spectacular viewing for guests. The
open air environment features a swimming pool
with fountains and simulated mountain terrain
for the tigers' enjoyment and the public's
entertainment. The facility's white setting
gives the animals a sense of security by
allowing them to blend into the background,
and special slanted glass affords better
viewing, eliminates glare and helps control
the temperature.
The
Royal White Tigers are rotated continuously in
and out of the facility throughout the day.
When not appearing in the Habitat, they enjoy
their own spacious living environment and
periodic excursions into the countryside.
