(Chimelong Xiangjiang Safari Park Guangzhou, China)

A great animal theme park & resort

is a must-see destination.

In 2005, it was awarded as a national AAAA scenic spot.

It’s home to some 130 rare white tigers.

White Tigers do not exist in the wild, they are purposefully inbred in captivity to meet the demand of the paying public. The kind of severe inbreeding that is required to produce the mutation of a white coat also causes a number of other defects in these big cats.

The same gene that causes the white coat causes the optic nerve to be wired to the wrong side of the brain, thus all white tigers are cross eyed, even if their eyes look normal. They also often suffer from club feet, cleft palates, spinal deformities and defective organs.
