Auckland Zoo to welcome a tiger in April, after three years without them
Kia ora neighbours, after three years without tigers, Auckland Zoo has announced one of the big cats will be arriving before the end of April.
In July 2019, the zoo announced it had made the decision to put down its last remaining Sumatran tiger, Berani, after efforts to treat him for health problems didn’t work.
Sali, a female tiger who has been living at Hamilton Zoo, will be moving into Auckland Zoo’s new South East Asia Jungle Track development.
