Tigers are coming to Twycross Zoo for the first time in 15 years
Tigers are coming to Twycross Zoo for the first time in 15 years.
Two Sumatran tigers, a male and a female, Sialang and Jahly will be arriving in the next couple of weeks from France.
The Sumatran tigers are native to Indonesia and keepers have created a special enclosure to mimic their natural habitat.
As well as a new attraction for the zoo, it is a conservation project because in the wild, Sumatran tigers are critically endangered.
There are only 400 on the island of Sumatra, the only place in the world where they are found.
The new enclosure where the tigers live is the size of almost half a football pitch.
It includes a pool, heated rocks and a glass walkway where visitors will be able to have closer look at the tigers.
The enclosure will be open to the public on Saturday 13th July.
