Bengal Tiger at ZWF

Inside the Tiger Habitat

Our Bengal Tigers are now between three to four years of age and reaching sexual maturity. They are between 350 to 500 pounds depending on the individual. They each consume 70 to 100 pounds of meat or chicken each week. With one day of fasting. They love to swim in their pool, play with the bowling balls, chase and wrestle with each other. You can hear their roar, chuff, hisses, snarfs and growling sounds throughout the property.

Our tigers are intact we do not believe in housing any animal that is altered. Today there more tigers in captivity than in the wild. Due to deforestation, hunting for their meat and their illegal demand as trophies!

We offer tours of our facility by appointment only. Where you will get an up close and personal experience within very safe boundaries. Our trained staff accompany our visitors at all times. Feel free to check out our tiger habitat gallery for updates on them.

Here are some new additions to ZWF! These baby Tamanduas will just melt your heart. The staff here will be working with them so that later on, we will be able to use them for educational presentation and teach people about these beautiful creatures. If you want to take a closer peak, then why not head over to ZWF for a private tour! To see more photos of these gorgeous Tams then check out the Tamandua gallery.

Swim with a buddy! In this case it was Titan our tiger!

We recently  put Titan in the pool for the first time, so that he can get used to swimming, and it was a very hot day here so it was a little treat for him to cool off! At first, Titan was a little cautious, and wanted nothing to do with the pool, but then as we got in and started splashing the water it really drew his attention over and he wanted to play with the water, after a little love and guidance, we gave him a little tug, and Titan was in the water! The minute he got in he LOVED it! Titan started swimming around, jumping off the steps so he can swim towards us, and at one point he even went to the deeper side with me, while he was swimming right behind me. We were so proud of Titan. Now that Titan is used to the water, we will be doing this on a usual basis. It’s great exercise too! To see all the photos from Titans swimming adventure then click here to see us swimming with the tiger!
