Sad news as it’s been announced that a white tiger at Chiang Mai Night Safari, famous for dancing to pop hit Gangnam Style, has suddenly died.
Earlier this month, Justin started showing signs of fatigue, drowsiness and listlessness one day and stopped eating. That evening, he passed away, reported Chiang Mai City Life.
The night safari, which announced the death today, said the autopsy showed he had died of a sudden kidney infection.
Justin was a popular tiger at the safari, especially after his trainer noticed he would cross his paws when he taught him how to greet him in a traditional “wai,” like South Korean popstar Psy, the Bangkok Post said.
He would dance to Psy’s hit Gangnam Style every time it came on the safari’s speakers.
His death is the latest upset for the Night Safari, after nine tourists were injured when they were trampled by a rampaging elephant earlier this month.
Here’s a video of Justin dancing with his trainer. RIP, buddy.
