    Hi, just a couple of questions about this place:
    1. Can you get entry, if so, how?
    2. Do they still breed/hold saiga?
    Thanks for any answers

    2.2 Siberian tiger cubs were born:

    There are four adult Amur tigers living at our center in the Moscow Region: Tikhon, a male, and three females: Shiva, Baryshnya and Matryoshka. Shiva was pregnant for about 100 days. In the time coming up to the birth, she became stealthier and less active. She gave birth to four cubs: two male and two female cubs.
