STORY SUMMARY:
Siegfried & Roy continue their animal conservation efforts with the addition of rare tiger cubs to Siegfried & Roy’s animal family. The cubs, including white-striped tigers, snow white tigers and a golden tiger, will be on exhibit at Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden at The Mirage beginning Friday, June 13.
The Mirage is home to Siegfried & Roy’s secret garden and dolphin habitat. While providing enjoyment for guests, the habitats also serve as educational centers for guests and school children in the community.
Since opening in 1997, the Secret Garden reveals Siegfried & Roy’s most cherished and well-guarded secret: the world’s most exotic animals can live side by side with one another and with mankind. Through the Secret Garden, Siegfried & Roy seek to renew the public’s sense of responsibility to preserve nature. The haven represents what is possible when humans and animals work, play and share their lives together.
Rare exotic animals reside within the Secret Garden: the Royal White Tigers of Nevada, the White Lions of Timbavati, gold heterozygous tigers carrying the gold and white gene, Africa and Asian leopards, a black panther and a snow leopard.
