The tiger, with its striking orange coat and black stripes, is a symbol of power and beauty. As one of the largest big cats, tigers are solitary and territorial predators that inspire awe in all who see them. Their stealthy movements and piercing eyes make them one of the most captivating zoo residents.
Behind the scenes, zookeepers ensure tigers have ample space to roam and simulate hunting behavior. Enrichment activities often include hiding meat in logs or providing large balls for them to "hunt." Their diet is strictly monitored, consisting of raw meat and specially formulated vitamins. Zookeepers also observe their health closely, as tigers are prone to dental issues. Visitors are often drawn to the roar of a tiger, which can be heard up to two miles away, a reminder of their dominance in the wild.
