They are a male and a female feline, approximately 13 and 5 years old, respectively.
Two white Bengal tigers were rescued after a military operation carried out in the Barrancos sector in Culiacán.
According to Ernesto Zazueta Zazueta, president of the Ostok Sanctuary, IAP, the tigers are a male and a female of approximately 13 and 5 years of age.
The cats were taken into the custody of the Ostok Sanctuary, where they were mobilized for medical attention and will receive necessary care while their legal status is being determined.
According to Zazueta Zazueta, Santuario Ostok has rescued 11 big cats in the midst of the wave of violence in Sinaloa.
“We are talking about two white tigers, a male of approximately 12 or 13 years old and a female of about 5 years old. During the operation, our veterinary team performed chemical containment to ensure the safe handling of the animals,” he said.
“They were transferred to Ostok to ensure their health and while there is the legal process, the animals do not suffer the consequences of what is happening, of the seizure and everything that is happening here in Culiacán. What we are doing is moving them, giving them adequate care while their fate is being decided”.
