This handout photograph released by France's Gendarmerie Nationale on May 4, 2019, shows a white tiger cub as it plays with the jacket of an official in Brignoles in southern France
Investigators in southeast France have seized a white tiger cub at the home of a suspected exotic animal trafficker, while pythons and endangered marsupials were found at his mother's house, a police source said Saturday.The arrested man is believed to have cashed the sum of $19,000 "but had not yet handed the small primates from Madagascar to the buyer," the French police said in a statement.
A raid on his home uncovered the white tiger cub, while a simultaneous operation at the home of the suspect's mother in northeast France uncovered four sugar gliders -- small, nocturnal marsupials native to the part of Australia, Indonesia, and New Guinea -- as well as nine snakes including two royal pythons.
Appearing before a judge, the arrested man was immediately jailed for eight months in connection with an earlier fraud case. Illegal trafficking in wild animals is punishable in France by a year in prison and an over $16,000 fine.White tigers are not a separate subspecies. The white fur is a rare genetic mutation which is mainly seen among animals inbred in captivity.
