Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah, Washington, is proud to announce that Almos, our Royal White Bengal Tiger, is celebrating his 1st Birthday on Saturday, May 3rd.

Bengal Tigers are the second largest cat in the World, reaching up to 550 pounds. They are found in parts of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma. The Bengal Tiger is the only subspecies of tiger that has naturally occurring color variations as the result of recessive genes.
