ALICE S. ETSCORN
TIGER TUNDRA
The Zoo’s Amur/Siberian Tiger Exhibit
has gotten an “extreme make-over” as part of the on-going Glacier
Run project.
Named the Alice S. Etscorn Tiger
Tundra in honor of the woman whose gift made the renovations
possible, the area now provides more “creature comforts” and
excitement for both our animals and our visitors.
New features include:
 |
NEW VIEWING AREA
A covered interpretive area
located on the east side of the exhibit. Visitors in this area
stand on the same level as the animals.
Views directly into the
exhibit through 1.5” reinforced glass all for a real
nose-to-nose experience with the tigers. |

|
TRAINING SESSIONS
A training wall made of steel mesh
sits behind a metal roll up door. At various time throughout the
day the door will be rolled up and zookeepers will invite the
tigers over to conduct training demonstrations that will be
visible through the mesh.
Although Zoo guests will remain a very
safe distance away from the mesh, this will provide an
extraordinary opportunity to see, hear and even smell these
magnificent creatures. |

UPDATES TO TOP
DECK
Shade has been added to the upper
viewing deck. Views into the exhibit from this vantage point are
much better – especially for children.
