Thanks, but I think it's a bit soft. However, it was my first White Tiger so I was excited to see it. They weren't all that common back in the early '80s.

Not only was it your first White tiger, but if this is 'Akbar 2nd' he was the very LAST of the purebred Indian strain of White Tigers which Bristol kept. He could also have been the last purebred Indian tiger(of either colour) in the UK too though that's not certain.

Unfortunately I don't know his name. Photo was taken in early February 1984, if that helps.
