This individual was in the enclosure along the Trail of the Elephants. Any idea who she or he is?

@Jambo No, the tiger was resting under a shelter. She was in full public view.

Oh. The tiger is either Binjai ( a 14 year old female) or her son Hutan ( a 8 year old male). Its great to finally see them laying down, because every time I tend to visit I always see them pacing up and down the enclosure.

@Jambo Well that's good. There was quite a crowd surrounding him/ her, and she seemed quite comfortable.

Did you see Indrah (female sumatran tiger) in the carnivores trail?

@Jambo I saw the tiniest indication of a tiger among the bamboo, along the Carnivores Trail.

Yeah, she always hides behind the bamboo.

How did you rate the Carnivores trail?

@Jambo
I didn't mind it, it was better than I expected. It was certainly an interesting mix of carnivores. The snow leopard and coatis were definite highlights.

The first snow leopard enclosure is definitely a great transition from the old syrian bear enclosure!
