The tigers is normally outside all around the year (or at least have the possibility to go out) I guess. During my visit there was some work beeing done in their outdoor enclosure, that's why the tigers had to be indoors.

I knew that there soon would arrive two more tigers, but I didn't knew that they would come from Kolmården. I take for granted that it's two of the cubs from 2006 which have moved (or am I wrong?). Which two?

And as a temporarily-only-facility, it is in fact quite good! Elevation, soft substrate, windows and, of course, more spacious than any old cage!

The roof makes it look like a converted barn.
