White tiger sisters get new enclosure at zoo in western Japan

Three white tiger siblings have a new habitat at a zoo in Yamaguchi Prefecture, western Japan.

The sisters, named Vanilla, Meringue and Whip, have been on public view in their enclosure since Friday at Akiyoshidai Safari Land in Mine City. The area has a pond, thick vegetation and rocks simulating a jungle. Visitors can observe the animals at close range through glass panels. Visitors watched the tigers stand on their hind legs, walk toward them, and jump up to devour food from the end of a long stick.
