Tiger Trail

Embarking on any adventure is exciting, but beginning your journey through our Tiger Trail is something else! Our Russian-themed Tiger Trail is home to our Amur Tiger, Miron.

Amur tigers mainly come from Eastern Russia, where the climate consists of extremely cold temperatures, especially in the winter, when they can drop to -38 degrees!

Amur tigers get used to these climates, so when the temperatures begin to rise in the warmer months, they use pools of water to cool off. In Miron's home, we’ve made sure they have a large pool to play and swim in, allowing him to feel comfortable in all temperatures.

Did you know tigers don’t like getting water in their eyes and will often enter the water backwards to avoid it? See if you can spot Miron going in for a swim on your visit!

Amur tigers are the largest living member of the cat family.

They’re very elusive animals, meaning it takes a lot of training and research to spot one in the wild.

Amur tiger cubs are born blind, which is why they stay very close to their mother for the first two months.

An Amur tiger’s fang can measure from five to eight centimetres, the largest of the cat species!
