Tigers are not only one of the most iconic and powerful big cats, but they are also vital to maintaining the balance of their ecosystems. Unfortunately, these magnificent creatures are endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.
Join us on July 26th to celebrate World Tiger Day and learn about the conservation efforts aimed at protecting tigers in the wild and how you can help!
Did you know that tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur? Or that they are the largest of all the big cats, with some males weighing up to 600 pounds? Come discover these fascinating facts and more through special keeper talks, tiger-themed activities, and up-close encounters with the Zoo’s own tiger residents.
All activities are included with regular admission—don’t miss this chance to honor tigers and support efforts to conserve these incredible animals!
