La légende de Moan
Ou la légende du tigre Blanc
Acrylique sur toile 116x89
En 1951, dans la forêt de Bandhavgarh aux 32 collines, naquit un jeune tigre blanc.
Les chasseurs tuèrent sa famille mais il fut capturé et nommé Mohan par le Maharajah de Rewa.
Accouplé avec Begum, une tigresse commune, Radha, Rani, Sukeshi et Mohini naquirent tous orange et noir; mais ils portaient les gènes permettant de produire un pelage blanc.
Ce fut le cas quand Mohan s'accoupla avec Radha.
Ainsi commença le mythe du tigre blanc.
Pendant des siècles, chaque Maharajah devait par tradition tuer 108 tigres mâles durant sa vie.
A son 100ème, le Maharajah de Rewa abattit une femelle par erreur; honteux, il renonça à la chasse et concèda son domaine pour y créer un parc protégé en 1968.
Mohan mourut le 19 septembre 1969 et fut empaillé et exposé au musée privé du Maharajah de Rewa.
Avec ses yeux bleu acier au regard fascinant,
le tigre blanc est une merveille de la Nature !
Ce n'est pas une race à part, mais une mutation génétique
des tigres du Bengale. Cet animal rarissime a été découvert en 1951 par le Maharadjah de Rewa, dans le nord de l'Inde.
Aujourd'hui le tigre blanc est en voie de disparition à l'état sauvage,
c'est pourquoi le Zoo d'Amnéville a décidé d'en entreprendre l'élevage.
Le vaste espace paysager conçu pour nos tigres blancs permet
une véritable incursion dans la végétation luxuriante de la jungle.

Catherine Lesueur was born in 1955, in France. She won the Silver medal of the Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters, Paris, in 2001.
