No more breeding

Within recognized European zoos, white tigers are not bred. This is because the white tiger has no chance of survival in the wild. Therefore, protection of white tigers makes no sense. Therefore, in the future we will use this space to offer more space, to endangered tiger species that do still exist in the wild.

Sneak

The tiger prefers to hunt at night, but is sometimes active during the day. Its prey animals also live at night. He prefers to run through dense vegetation and along trails so they do not hear him coming.
