Can not remember ever seeing any white tigers in Zoologico de Buenos Aires.
Did find it a nice zoo in transition to a native species wildlife park. Great to see they had several in situ conservation programmes running and advertising them, e.g. Andean condor breeding and release in the precordillera of Argentina (a regional effort with Chile's Santiago Zoo and several Colombian institutions), southern pudu genetic fingerprinting, maned wolf telemetry research in northern Argentina and vicuna breeding. They had also just initiated a new deer enclosure for introduced fallow and red deer and mirroring this with the native brockets and in future pudus (et al).
I write this all on top of my memory from last December 2007. In one word Patagonia (Chile + Argentina) was simply breathtaking and wild, just .... wild!!!
