A family of Bengals, one of the rarest cats on Earth, have been making headlines in Moscow, Russia. They have been recently released in the outdoor section of the Moscow Zoo and have quickly become the stars of the zoo. The three cubs, two male and one female, were born in March but have been kept under surveillance until now. Now the three cubs and their mother are enjoy summer in their new home, equipped with a swimming pool and receiving all the attention they need. White tigers have to be kept captive since they have no chance to survive in the wild - their fur renders it almost impossible for them to hunt. Here is the family of white tigers!

  4. bollocks! it is a myth that those poor tiggers can’t survive in the wild, unless it just means they used to thrive in snowy regions but now have less spaces to live in since global warming.
