Howletts Wild Animal Park Tigers at Howletts in Kent

[Hunting dogs]

Milla, the female Siberian tiger at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, was born in July 2009. She apparently has a brother called Marty who is living at HWP. Does HWP stand for Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent and, if so, where is Marty’s enclosure? Does anyone know the identity of the beautiful Indian tiger in the little enclosure near the clouded leopards and Kifu’s group of gorillas at Howletts? It seems to be a male tiger and I first saw him in April 2012.

I thought HWP was Highland Wildlife Park?

As far as I'm aware there are 2 'Indian' tigers (I think I read somewhere they may actually be hybrid) at Howletts (unless there are more off show).
They used to be in the enclosure now occupied by the Amur tiger 'cub', Arina. They now have the back parts of this enclosure and the one next to it (where the remaining Amur tiger lives).

I couldn't tell you their names though.

Oh, they are most certainly hybrids - there are no true Indian tigers in captivity outside the native range due to the rampant hybridisation of tigers which occurred up until the 1980s in captivity.
