Mohan, a 2-year-old white tiger, takes a break from playing with discarded Christmas tree in one of the tiger enclosures at Tiger World in Southeastern Rowan County. The trees are used to help stimulate activity in the animals. During the traditional low attendance days in January, Tiger World allows zoo visitors bring in a tree for free admission.
