Cat of the Month ~ January 2013
Longleat’s four Amur (Siberian) Tigers were fascinated by the deep snow outside and were always going to make the most of ‘snow day’ when it came around.
… but when their keepers decided to build some snowmen, things got more exciting and they just had to go in to investigate….
So what were these strange white creatures with orange noses…..
So inquisitive were the four handsome beasts that they caused the fragile snowmen to collapse…..
…and so, it was off to explore the rest of their snow bound enclosure before retiring to a snug warm pen for the evening.
Heres the video of the whole episode
…or head over to the
Longleat website for these and many other wonderful animals.
And what’s an Amur Tiger? you might ask. Well here’s a pretty concise article on the National Geographic website.
