| McCabe was born November 22, 1995 in Tennessee. He and his sister, Tika, are the offspring of the American and European lines of Royal White Bengal Tigers. They began playing in Tiger Splash at three months. They played for many years until they finally grew weary of the toys. Now both enjoy a more leisurely life. They are leashable and have made many excursions through the park. McCabe is named in honor of Bill and Elisabeth McCabe, the park doctor and his wife. | |
