On Thanksgiving Day, Zoya, our Amur tiger cub, had quite a fun day! In the morning she was given a large rawhide bone (a gift from a zoo employee and her husband - thanks Tracey and Joel) that was tied by rope so it would hang in her exhibit.
Zoya cannot resist a fun moving object and the bone and rope enrichment kept her occupied while guests were delighted throughout the day!
Given that it was a holiday and it is just so much fun to give Zoya enrichment, we did it again in the afternoon, but this time she was given a piece of elk hide. At first she sniffed it and would lick it some. Soon she was running, jumping and rolling all around her exhibit with it. At one point she put it in her water trough, but retrieved it out of the water quickly. What a good day for Zoya, guests and her keepers alike!
