Japan - Surgery on white tiger
Print Edition
Vets in Japan have carried out knee surgery on a rare white tiger cub, fixing a leg problem the animal had been born with.
In what was being billed as the first such operation of its kind on a white tiger, surgeons fixed a congenitally displaced kneecap in its right hind leg.
The nine-month-old male, named Sky, was under the knife for five and a half hours Tuesday at the Nihon University Animal Medical Center in Fujisawa, south of Tokyo, the institution said on its website. The animal was under general anesthetic.
The tiger, now weighing 56 kilograms, was born in March at Tobu Zoo in a northern suburb of Tokyo.
