White Tiger Cub: Premiering March 13

Nashville Zoo’s two tigers, My-lee and Sareeka, are favorites of many Zoo guests. Now visitors can catch twice the stripes with the addition of Benwa and Taboo, two rambunctious white tiger cubs.

Benwa and Taboo will be in the former Eurasian Lynx Exhibit this spring, down the trail from the adult tiger exhibit. Once the cubs return to their permanent home in Florida, the two lynx will be back on exhibit.

The white coats of the cubs and My-lee result from a natural color variation caused by an extremely rare double-recessive gene. They are not “albino” as many people often think, and they are the same species as their more common orange counterparts.



And, hopefully ride Sheeba, the elephant, again!
