Land of the Tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park 18/02/12

This is Vladimir\'s enclosure.

I really like the look of this exhibit. Is it for Amur tigers (I'm assuming as much with a name like Vladimir ). Even the rockwork looks better than if they had opted for mock rock.

Your subspecies deduction is correct!

The complex is designed for two pairs, so there is another large enclosure to the left of this one and a holding paddock - for now the pair rotate between the two - sometimes mixed, sometimes individually.

Yes, this holds Amur Tigers (I should of noted this, sorry for any inconvience)

AFAIK, the pair 'Vladimir' and 'Sayan' are now permanently live together or have been doing since January (This year). I thought the introduction of a second pair would happen, any idea?

Called in on Boxing day and this exibit is now half under water. The whole pool area has been flooded out.

It was like that on both my last two visits (in August and earlier this month).

There's been flooding in the enclosures since July (I posted some photos back then) but the extent on Boxing day surprised me. It hadn't been that bad on my last visit on 13th Dec.
