The Bengal tiger lives in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Nepal, with approximately 2,500 individuals remaining in the wild. They often enjoy swimming and taking baths in water, unlike most cats. A 202 kg white Bengal tiger named Odin attracts crowds by swimming and diving in a zoo in California. White tigers are a rare and threatened species, with fewer than 5,000 wild tigers remaining worldwide from a population that used to be over 100,000. Odin was hand-raised by zoo staff since he was 2 months old and has a close bond with his trainer, despite being a large predator.

2. The Tiger of Bengal in all its
splendor
The Bengal tiger lives in India, Myanmar,
Bangladesh and Nepal. Some 2,500
individuals operating in the wild are identified,
primarily in the Ganges delta. Most cats avoid
water, but the Tigers seem to like to swim.
They often take baths in the middle of heat
wave, especially in southern regions.

5. • A white tiger diving attracts crowd
• in a zoo in California
• A white Bengal tiger, a rare and threatened species,
amateur snorkeling, attracts crowds in a zoo in California
(west). "The attractiveness of the meat is what makes
Odin in this pool," explains Nancy AFP Chan,
spokesman for the park Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
The number of wild tigers, which reached 100,000 in the
past, has fallen to less than 5,000. Scientists believe the
species may lapse due to habitat loss and poaching
growing. The last known wild white tiger, the result of a
genetic exceptional alloy, was killed in 1958. "One day,
parks like Six Flags are the only places to see such
animals," says Chris Drelick, coach of the animal park.
The tiger does not reluctant to put his lungs to the test
for a few bites of raw horsemeat, fun to sprinkle with his
tail the many curious.

7. • The 202 kilos of tiger was named Odin, the god of
warriors in Nordic mythology. A bamboo wall
separates the field of cars that come close to the
highway. Armed with their cameras, visitors do
not hesitate to brave the heat to admire. "What
teeth!", Exclaimed a spectator, "it is very cute, I
can understand why some people might want as
pets." Texas (south), the authorities must
intervene to tiger attack per month, says Drelick.
"These cats are not good pets," he says. Coaches
regularly walk the tigers on a leash. The marks on
trees indicate the sites felines call to get the
claws. Odin has been high since the age of 2
months by Lee Munro, head coaches of the park,
and although the menu, the "chief explorer" built
with the tiger a link of mutual trust
