India, White Tiger, 1984

India, White Tiger, 1984 - In the zoo in Calcutta, I saw a White Tiger for the first time. But that was not all. They also had Tigons and Ligers, to my amazement. A Tigon was the result of breeding a male Tiger with a female Lion. A Liger was the result of breeding a male African lion with a female Bengal tiger. I felt terribly sorry for these noble, caged, animals. I spoke to this White Tiger of my empathy. Oddly, it seemed to understand the feeling I was trying to convey.
