Relentless experimentation of mankind in search of the "perfect" nature caused strengths and weaknesses. Kenny the tiger is a clear example that nature doesn't make mistakes.
Kenny is the result of an experimental process conducted in Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, in search of a perfect white tiger species with blue eyes. Kenny came up with jaw problems, mental impairment and is considered the first tiger with Down Syndrome.
According to Tumblr.com, the intention of creating a long snout, tiger with blue eyes and white fur increased risk of getting a faulty specimen due to low presence of white tiger's DNA. The source stated that Kenny died of cancer in 2008.
