The White House has had a long history of being gifted with unique animals and wildlife. Lions and tigers and bears oh my! John Quincy Adams received an alligator from Marquis deLafayette, Jefferson received two bear cubs from Lewis and Clark, President Martin Van Buren received a pair of tiger cubs from the Sultan of Oman which (were donated to a zoo), the King of Siam gave President Buchanan a herd of elephants to add to his pair of Bald Eagles.
President Teddy Roosevelt, not only was a huge advocate in preserving our national treasures with our National Park System, but he also welcomed a lion, a hyena, a wildcat, a coyote, a zebra, an owl, a raccoon and an assortment of lizards, rats and fowl into the White House. However, our answer goes to Calvin Coolidge. Coolidge loved wildlife, was an avid sportsman and probably had the most animals. He had lots and lots of dogs, cats, a goose, raccoons, a donkey named Ebenezer and a bobcat named Smokey. Recognizing his love for all creatures, many times high ranking officials from other countries gave gifts to Coolidge including lion clubs, bears, an antelope, a pygmy hippo and numerous wild birds.

How much do white tigers cubs cost?
It may cost anywhere between $10,000 to $50,000 US dollars. Tiger cubs are a LOT of work, and are potentially dangerous exotic pets because they are wild animals, and could be violent- turning on their owners if provoked. It is not recommended that you purchase one unless you are properly trained to handle and care for an exotic animal; they are extremely expensive, and are time-consuming.

What kind of species does tigers feed on in order to survive?
There are different tiger species that depend on different animals. I'll list the deer for the most common tiger subspecies: the Bengal (or Indian) tiger. BENGAL---A tiger usually hunts on sambar, an Indian deer which is pretty common where tigers live. They also may eat chital or chevrotain. Usually they eat a species of deer. If that's un-available, they may also eat fish, small mammals, small birds, usually anything edible to them (for us, this is probably highly un-edible) Also, tigers are known for man-eating. THAT IS NOT FOR FOOD. Usually it's for protection, from the humans. They think the humans are going to kill the tiger, the humans think the opposite. This is why there's tension between animals. Another thing, tigers eating their cubs is true, but also for protection. Mothers may do it to stop them from suffering (we do it to our pets), fathers for protection from cubs taking over the territory.
