CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Zoo’s last white tiger has died.
Zoo officials said Thursday that Popsy has been euthanized due to age-related issues. The female tiger was 22.
Zoo Director of Animal Health Mark Campbell says Popsy had several health issues, and in the end it was determined that the zoo was unable to maintain her “good quality of life.”
