Rare white
tigers return
to Ohio zoo
ABILENE. 'Fexas (A P) — Two rare \tlit
Tigers are scheduled to return home to anOli
zoo after spending a year at the Abilene Zee.
The tigers' departure marks the end of ett
lenging times for the animals and their keep®
Kodi and Kayla came to Abilene on a sir
month loan from the African Wildlife Sati
Park in Port Clinton. Ohio, in October®’
but they ended up staying much longer afe
Kodi became ill with temporary diabetes.
Ktxli became sick in November 2002,at
needed continued care from the zoo’s n
narians, Dr. Dale Hembree said.
The tiger was listless and had no appE
because of the diabetes. Doctors believe Si
trip to Abilene and a drug used to sedate is
for the trip likely caused the illness. Henitie
said in Monday’s online edition of the Abte
Reporter-News.
Initial blood tests indicated Kodi hadfe
betes. an illness that occurs when thepanciti
doesn’t pnxiuce enough insulin.
After a consultation with an internalmd
c<ne specialist at Texas A&M Univem.
Hembree discovered Kodi had glucosetOM
or temporary diabetes, the first suchcasefe
nosed in a large cat.
Hembree and his team treated Kodi
insulin. The team was diligent aboutkeepif
accurate records because their daily trearna
would set a precedent.
During Kodi’s treatment, zoo officialsw
ried that he w ouldn’t make it because hisi
cose level began to fluctuate wildly. Heoife
later discovered the tiger no longer need insu
shots, which were causing the fluctuation.
Kodi’s eyesight was affected by theilte
requiring surgery in March. Hembree saidi
cat has since recovered.
Hembree and his team said they will ate
treasure the experience of caring forthecais
“None of us will ever forget it,"Stephs
DeGesero, a mammal supervisor at the zoo,1
was an amazing learning experience andsc!v
ified why I do what 1 do.”
Zoo officials plan to bring in twoAis
lions to replace the tigers. The l-yeardi
brother lions are from Cheyenne Moms
Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colo.
