 "Namaste's striking white coat and crossed blue eyes are due to the expression of recessive genes. He was hand-raised in Las Vegas and donated to the zoo by a magician, Dirk Arthur, who was impressed with our world-class one-acre tiger enclosure. "Namaste" is an Sanskrit word that is loosely translated as "Aloha".

Namaste was born on September 30, 1998 and arrived in Hilo April 16, 1999. He was 7 months old and weighed 80 pounds. He was held in his night house in quarantine until August 14, 1999. The life span of tigers in captivity is 15 to 20 years. Sexual maturity is reached at age 3 to 4 years. Namaste's weight now is over 500 pounds. His diet consists of 3 whole chickens, 10 lb. meat, ground bone and vitamins per day."

I really like this pic, the softness of the fur makes it look almost dreamy.

Beautiful tiger. I think white tigers are amazing and your lucky to have one near you.

Thanks. The reason why I made this a black and white photograph is because the tiger is black and white. It really didn't make much of a difference in the end so I decided to just convert it.

I love the picture!! Tigers are my favorite. Good cropping, and lighting. should be in color though to show the true beauty of the beast.
