New home for the Amur tiger and other animals from the Far East<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NB! Preparations are continuing on the completion of the entire exposition. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiger Valley consists mainly of outdoor areas and visitor areas for the Amur tiger and other species from the Far East. Animal welfare was a key priority, but so was creating an environment that offers experiences to visitors. \u2018Many people, including a professional zoo designer from the United States, have been involved in the conceptualisation of Tiger Valley. We want to make Tiger Valley a place where the best knowledge in the world is incorporated in its solutions. This will allow us to provide the animals with the conditions they need to thrive, and visitors with a thrilling experience and the chance to play a part in the conservation of this species in the wild.\u2019 This is how Tiit Maran, former director of the zoo, describes the work and plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Amur tiger<\/strong>, several other species of animals from the Far East will find a new habitat in Tiger Valley: the Amur leopard, dhole, red-crowned crane, black stork, great grey owl, and the Ural owl<\/strong>. The marmot<\/strong> will also be moving there. All species will begin living in an environment similar to their natural habitat, which will help you get a feel for the nature of the Far East. The Amur tiger is the most northerly ecotype of the tiger, commonly found in Outer Manchuria in the Far East. There are currently around 500 Amur tigers living in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
