Noah's Ark TigerCam

Outside it's play time

 

Noah's Ark Zoo Farms' Tiger Cam is on 24 hours a day.

Here you can see Bengal tigers Kushkja and Tanvir enjoying their spacious outdoor enclosure.
Six-year-old Kushkja and four-year-old Tanvir have a one-acre Tiger Territory to enjoy with dens, basking platforms and diving boards.
Visitors can get up close to the animals from open-air viewing platforms, which will be at eye level with the tiger’s 15ft-high basking platforms. 
Head keeper Chris Wilkinson said: “The new enclosure is packed full of tiger toys to ensure our new arrivals are provided with environmental enrichment. 
“Toys include 10ft scratching posts, play balls and diving boards where the tigers will be able to jump into their 5ft deep swimming pools. 
“Tigers are excellent climbers so we have also constructed 15ft enrichment climbing towers aimed at encouraging the tigers to use all their skills."




Above you can also see the Bengal tiger cub, born in July, getting some rest in between regular feeds from Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm keepers.
The little cub is having to be hand-reared after he was rejected by his mum, Tira.
Tira, who moved to Noah’s Ark along with Kushkja, sadly died a few weeks after the cub’s birth as a result of a feline disease.
Now the keepers are looking to the future and concentrating on ensuring the cub grows up healthy and strong.
