Come and meet one of the largest big cats, our Amur tigers. There may be as few as 400 Amur tigers left in the Russian Far East and by taking part in this experience you will be supporting ZSL's Amur tiger conservation project which is focussed on population monitoring, anti-poaching efforts, and increasing education and awareness.
Did you know
Amur tigers have the lightest coat of all the tigers as they are adapted to the forest on the Russian Far East. They also have the largest territories of all the tiger sub-species, this is because their prey is found in very low densities, so they have to search over large areas to find enough food to eat.
