- This video was shot during my time volunteering at an animal sanctuary & cheetah conservation project in South Africa 🇿🇦
Interested in how I got to volunteer with incredible wildlife in South Africa? Just hit me up on Instagram (@matthias.pav) or Facebook (Matthias Páv), and I'll do my best to answer your questions about wildlife volunteering and share tips on visiting this project.
Knowing I've inspired action truly makes my day!
Nevada, the snow white bengal tiger has an enormous enclosure and his care takers are very passionate and dedicated towards his wellbeing and happiness. As you can see, he can come in and out of the smaller cage, where he gets fed, as he pleases.
Stick feeding serves 2 main purposes;
1) When animals are taken out of their natural environment (in this case the South African police (NSPCA) handed Nevada over, as a cub, to the sanctuary to avoid him getting sold on the black market) it is very important to keep them happy and stimulated, like they would be in nature.
Stick feeding provides this kind of cognitive stimulation, also commonly known as "Enrichment".
2) Some facilities prefer to train their animals in such a way, that in the case the veterinarian needs to apply medication or needs to do a general health check up, the animals are already accustomed to coming close to the fence and interact with humans.
This way, unnecessary sedation by the vet can be avoided.
Over the last century, tiger numbers have dropped to only 7% percent of their original population size world wide.
..with only some 4000 left in the wild due to poaching for the harvesting of their bones and beautiful fur mainly for chinese "traditional medicin"
White tigers have a double recessive gene
So they are not albinos, but are the blond, blue-eyed version of the orange Bengal tiger
But nevada is a very rare individual as he is white & stripeless (there are approximately only 20 tigers with this trait).

First time seeing a stripeless Tiger!!
Beautiful tiger in a dirty cage 😖
@taehyung the baby bear in my bedroom it's very wild
@@forefatherofmankind3305 what da fuq...not getting girl does not mean u can fuck animals
Lol 😂
Beautiful kitty
what a beautiful cat
He is completely white and by this it also shows that they not just have strips that make them different but also their structure is different they are super. Muscular indeed solidarity animal
Love your videos, looking forward to seeing you hit a million subscribers sometime soon!
Thank you, I appreciate that a lot
Too cute!
What?! How is that tiger? It has no line in its body, this is so beautiful i haven’t see it like that before💖
you can tell its a tiger because it chuffs and lions dont
It’s inbred that’s why
There kitty kitty 🥺
Gorgeous Animal
Hi it,s Stripeless White tiger
Not a "sanctuary" to be proud of. Filthy conditions in the feeding area. An Apex predator reduced to begging for tiny bits of food. It would take forever to get enough nutrition into that animal to meet it's needs.
A large Angora kitty!
Very cute. Love from Kolkata. 🥰❤
Maybe we ought to get one of them to lay down in the dirty wet cage & feed them.
@BTS ARMY FOREVER Yeh but that looks like a floor in a mens pub bog.
Raw meat + water + heat = parasites and a sick animal.
White version of the strawberry tiger./ Munchkin tiger
Get that Beautiful being OUT of a cage!!!! Deplorable!!!
How old is this handsome guy?
I'm not totally sure but if I remember right, about 6 years old.
@@MatthiasPav wow so two years ago was 6 now is 8 rigth? What a handsome tiger never seen a fully white one it was a shock to me!
@@cristairf22 i agree with that logic yes, although again, not sure about the age. And yes, strange right, i had to look it up after I made the video, it's a peculiar case to say the least...
Hard resisting to pet him.
😱
What horrible conditions you have for this little feeding cage! Tigers need big chunks of fresh meat not little bits given slowly like you are doing! I sincerely hope he has a large natural enclosure with lots of trees and bushes. I feel so sorry for this magnificent tiger or was he hand raised in captivity?
Geht es dem Tier wirklich gut ?
I’m so confused😭😭😭. Is it a white tiger or a white lion?
bengal tiger but i dont know why he has no stripes probably because of inbreeding
@@nightbrick4831 white Bengal tigers have stipes but they r barely visible. U can observe the tip of the tail and he feet's, ull see brown stipes.
It "chuffs" like a tiger. Lions don't do that. Severe inbreeding is used to produce white tigers that produces all kinds of physiological problems, making many non-viable, so many cubs are put down due to this breeder cruelty.
@@MaryAlice61 some Bengal tigers are actually naturally white. So it is not surprising if this tiger has white Bengal tiger genes or is a White Bengal tiger in itself.
@@ulrichtiger1082 First, I question if this *IS* a Bengal tiger it would need DNA testing. The breeder has clearly tried to breed in alterations by virtue of its lack of stripes. The biggest issue is the appallingly bad conditions it is being kept in. Which is a hallmark of bad/irresponsible breeders.
Seriously.... that's all he's being fed?
Why is the tiger stripeless ? The tiger can't be an albino because albinos' eyes are red?
It's a tiger
Eating food off a filthy floor. No enrichment activity. And he looks thin. Why can't he eat in peace away from humans, he is clearly not happy being near ,as he keeps going away ? And he got 5 teeny tiny pieces of meat.
DO YOU PEOPLE EVER CLEAN HIS CAGE..SHAME ON YOU
I could eat that Angora-kitten up.
What's are his stripes ?
Terrible small cage not comfortable dirty. baby bits for such a large animal plus it looks like not the proper food.
White Tiger 🤔
SAD!
What’s the point of putting his food in the water!!!! Shame on you !!! Such dirty cage to
Sempre que vejo tigres brancos, na maioria são de tamanho inferior aos de marcação tradicional.
Dirty cage. Poor tiger
@Saiyan prince
It ok put animals in cage. Just clean the cage. If you lazy. Dont pet them.
Lion ,not tiger
That was NOT a Lion, it was a Tiger and it has no business being in South Africa or even EXISTING, since White Tigers are BRED in captivity and aren't NATURALLY occurring in any REGULAR way in the Wild. The 'lack of Melanin' is a rare medical condition and without the assistance & group dynamics found in a Lion Pride, these animals usually die because they cannot 'camouflage' themselves in the Wild, which is especially necessary for 'SOLITARY' Cats that need to hunt. These 'White' Tigers are made via INBREDING, which means these cats are 'plagued' with OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS as well!
Yes , snow white tiger. Tiger the animal you can't trust and you never trust , lion can be .
@@rehanmashood No wild big cats can be trusted.
Thats a tiger its not a lion 🐯🐯🐯👑👑👑
@@rehanmashood human are the animals you cannot trust anyway
.noway.
I use to own 1 exactly like that it killed my girlfriend tho she tried take away the tiger food💔
