At Dierenrijk, Amur tiger Laila died today. Keepers recently noticed that the 18-year-old tiger was walking increasingly worse. The vet examined her and found, based on an ultrasound, that she had severe osteoarthritis and was in a lot of pain as a result. It was therefore decided to put her to sleep. Laila was supposed to spend her last days in Beekse Bergen, but unfortunately that did not happen. There are currently no more tigers living in Dierenrijk. Tiger Laslo had already passed away last October. Source: Facebook Dierenrijk
In Madrid two tigers moved in, coming from Switserland. The names are Altai and Dunai. I don't have any info about them in my database. Is there somebody with info about them? Zoo Aquarium de Madrid
Apparently Zoo Madrid made a mistake, they have since updated their post. The two tigers are not from Switzerland but from Sweden. My guess is that they are from Kolmarden, where they had cubs in August 2021. But I don't know that for sure.
Following the death of the last Amur tiger, Dierenrijk has started renovating the tiger enclosure. The old cheetah enclosure will be added to the current tiger enclosure. This will make it twice as big. There will also be more water in the enclosure. The work is expected to be completed in May. On the recommendation of the management programme, the current tiger couple from sister zoo Beekse Bergen will move to Dierenrijk after the works. This does not mean that Beekse Bergen will be without tigers, they will get a new tiger pair. Source: Dierenrijk bouwt aan toekomst: nieuw tijgerverblijf en waterspeeltuin
