A new Tiger Valley has been completed at Tallinn Zoo, developed by Infortar's subsidiaries EG Ehitus and INF Ehitus. Spanning 2.5 hectares, this area features a natural environment with large trees and water bodies, as well as innovative aerial walkway tunnels for the exhibits.
"Visitors to the zoo have been eagerly awaiting the completion of Tiger Valley for quite some time. Now we have reached the final stages of construction, and the first outdoor exhibit has been completed. It integrates the best welfare conditions for the animals with a natural living environment. Tiger Valley is designed to evoke positive emotions in visitors, where they can learn about the endangered Amur tiger and enjoy quality time with family. Like the entire zoo, Tiger Valley is in continuous development to become even better for both animals and visitors," said the zoo's director, Kaupo Heinma, expressing his delight about the newly finished attraction.
Visitors can expect to see tigers in the new environment starting from mid-July. After extensive travels across European zoos, the beloved Amur tiger Pootsman and his companion Danuta returned home in early June. Last week, a female Amur tiger named Ohana, born in 2022, arrived from Helsinki's Korkeasaari Zoo aboard the Tallink Megastar. Ohana's partner, a three-year-old male Amur tiger named Aleksander, is expected to arrive from the Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland.
Several other Far Eastern animal species will also find a new habitat in Tiger Valley, including the Amur leopard, red wolf, oriental stork, black stork, bearded owl, and Ural owl. All species will live in environments resembling their natural habitats. Currently, there are about 500 Amur tigers living in the wild.
