Oh there is no denying how attractive they are, l have asked Nerys to put up some of the photos l have of them from two years ago alongside the white tigers available at the same time.

I am sure they will be along shortly, damned if l know how to do the photobucket thingy, lol

how much would a tiger cost? I know of a guy from another forum that got a single tiger given to him because it got confiscated from a guy with no license and he works alongside the local authorities, just wondered how much it would of been if he had bought it.

I know your not at liberty to say but by any chance were these off West Midland Safari park? Claimed to be the only breeders of white lions in the UK (dont know whether this doesnt count private keepers.) Also know they've had some financial issues of late so was wondering if they're flogging off stock as it were.

Gutted that ive not got it on here, will hunt it down. A gorgeous photo of 2 juvenile white lions playing my missus took when we were there.

In terms of rarity numbers are estimated to be around 300 in the wild.

Hi Zak,

No these are in fact European located.

Should a UK buyer have wanted to proceed, then we would be looking at the full import procedure backed up with six month quarantine.

Of all the cat species l am offered every year, all 100% are offered from our European colleagues, never been offered any from UK.

How odd, i suppose internal shuffling of stock between zoos/private keeper eliminates import procedure.

Every dealt in any hybrids? Ie liger, tigon etc.

Of course it would be an easier transaction for a zoo tbh Zak.

Ligers/Tigons mm no not really.

Have heard more fuss about them over here than Europe.
