Wow...yes, very cool. But I'd probably still cack my pants if I saw Odin in the pool.

<P>
</P><P>
But as these pictures show, there's always the exception to the rule. For the cat in question is a large male white Bengal tiger called Odin. 
</P><P>Six years old, and at the prime of his life, Odin lives at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Zoo in Vallejo, near San Francisco. He is about 10ft long from nose to tail, and is an excellent swimmer.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=458282&in_page_id=1811&ico=Homepage&icl=TabModule&icc=picbox&ct=5"><P>
White tigers - the colour is caused by an unusual genetic combination - are rare in the wild, although there are several dozen in zoos.

And after he was weaned, his British trainer Lee Munro  discovered his remarkable skill: when a lump of meat was thrown into a pool of water, Odin would happily dive in after it.
