🚨New Arrival!🚨
We are excited to announce the welcome addition of Tipah, our new female Sumatran tigress! Although she's been at the park since late May, we've been letting her take the time to settle in before making it official. 🐯
So far, the three-year-old big cat has made the biggest impression on fellow Sumatran tiger and long-standing Howletts favourite, Achilles. After a carefully-monitored introductory period - the tiger equivalent of dating - Tipah and Achilles moved in together! 🧡
The two lovebirds have been getting on incredibly well since they moved in together and it's hoped that Tipah and Achilles will welcome cubs in the near future! As a Critically Endangered species with fewer than an estimated 400 wild individuals remaining, every cub born to the pair will be a precious gift to the future of their species. 🌏
Thanks to the keepers for sending over this video of Tipah first arriving! 🎥
