Allahabad ("Prince Ali")

Panthera tigris - TIGER

Ali was born in 1993. His sister Jasmine and brother Shirkon were placed in other zoos,

as babies, to spread out the gene pool. Shirkon was the star with Russell Crow in the movie “Gladiator”.

Being cubs of Stoli & Lil, these are also Heterozygous Golden Tigers,

meaning they carry the rare White Tiger gene.

Speaking of Movie Stars, many of the animals here at the zoo

you have probably seen and never realized it.

Cat Tales is very involved in the filming of animal sequences used in feature films,

and television programs. Our cats have been seen on Discovery Channel,

Animal Planet, National Geographic, various PBS Networks and television commercials.

Any money received for commercial work goes directly back to animal care.

All work done for non-profit groups is donated by our facility. Also, while on the subject of donations,

Cat Tales donates an average of $70,000.00 in passes and memberships to local charities every year.

If you have an organization that may benefit from our program please contact the zoo office for details.

Ali is not quite as large as his 650 pound father Stoli, but he does weigh in at approximately 600 pounds.

The average size for a male Bengal Tiger in the wild is 400-500 pounds.

Ali is one of the cats that you can hand feed on a “Big Cat Adventure”

when you visit the Zoo in person.
