Dog a 'nanny' to tiger cubs at Cincinnati Zoo | The Times of India

Happy International Tiger Day! We have two Malayan tigers at the Cincinnati Zoo. A female, Jin and a male, Zero. Other than females with their young, tigers are solitary and come together only to mate. Territories must be large to provide enough prey for a tiger to eat. A tiger may travel up to 20 miles a night in search of prey. As more and more forests disappear, tigers struggle to maintain a territory with sufficient prey. The Cincinnati Zoo partners with other zoos on a Tiger Species Surviva

Happy 10th Birthday to Zero the Malayan tiger. He and Arya had a joint Birthday party yesterday. Interestingly their birthdays are just one day apart. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Malayan tiger Chira got to explore the newly-upgraded tiger habitat yesterday. The new cave area, complete with a heated floor, provided a place to get out of the rain and will be a nice, shady resting place in the summer. Other improvements include the addition of natural tree trunks to encourage climbing and scratching, an artificial tree with perching areas high and low, and built-in enrichment such as a hoist that allows treats to be lifted above the tigers to promote jumping and climbing. |
