White tigers at Audubon

Rex and Zulu, Audubon Zoo’s white tigers, have about the cushiest jobs in the place, whether they’re relaxing in the grotto on a hot day:

Or just striking a pose while semi-hiding in the bamboo and bananas.

It’s clear they’re well named- Rex and Zulu rule over Mardi Gras Day, and these two clearly rule the roost.

  Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~
  

  I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

  The blog was started as a companion to my New Orleans-themed shop (now closed), and give visitors a glimpse into life here. I'm keeping the blog here, even though I haven't been as good at updating it as I ought to be.

  I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and gambol in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
