The two white tigers are two years old, around 100kg in weight, and were transported to HCM City from the Elmvale Zoo in Canada earlier this year. They have quickly become familiar to their new living environment in Vietnam.
Previously, Dai Nam Van Hien park in Binh Duong province also imported a pair of white tigers, an extremely rare species, to promote tourism.
White Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) mainly live in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Bhutan.
According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world currently has only 2300 Bengal tigers.
