White tigers

I have always liked the big cats, especially tigers, which I find to be majestic animals.

Recently, someone jumped into the white tiger section at the Singapore zoo, and was killed by the two female tigers there. It was an apparent case of suicide, though why would anyone want to get himself killed by tigers is beyond me. After all, it is a messy way to die...

I remember visiting the white tigers at the zoo. Back then, the zoo didn't have resident white tigers, they were on loan from somewhere else, and thus were sort of a "for a limited time only" exhibit. But now, the zoo has its own resident white tigers (2 females and 1 male), all 9 years of age.
The big cats, especially tigers, fascinate me because they move with power, confidence and yet do not act aggressively without reason. They stalk their prey, prowl, and only move in for the kill when they are ready. There is something about tigers that set them apart from the other big cats. And white tigers are so much more beautiful, the white colour like a sort of symbol for purity, the purest of tigers.
