And impressive collection of albino tigers is under Mexican police control after being seized in a raid on the Mexico City mansion of alleged Colombian drug traffickers. The private zoo was also home to an ordinary white tiger, a couple of black panthers, two African lions and a chimpanzee.
The house was covered in elaborate wooden carvings in styles ranging from ancient Greek to Indian. An artificial lake in the grounds contained fiberglass sculptures of two crocodiles and a hippopotamus.
The raid, on Saturday, resulted in the arrest of 11 Colombians, two Mexicans, a Uruguayan, and a US citizen. They were in the middle of a party at the time. The chief organised crime prosecutor alleged the gang was headed by drug kingpin Teodoro Fino Restrepo, alias the Seagull.
