Retarded Tiger
A Links entry from Sunday, December 17, 2006Retarded Tiger
There’s an article in the New York Times today about the photography of Taryn Simon. There’s a retarded tiger in it.
White Tiger (Kenny) Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge Eureka Springs, Ark.: In the United States, all living white tigers are the result of selective inbreeding to artificially create the genetic conditions that lead to white fur, ice-blue eyes and a pink nose. Kenny was born in the care of a breeder in Bentonville, Ark., on Feb. 3, 1999. As a result of inbreeding, Kenny is mentally retarded.
Thought you should know.
