Why Our Family Became Peoria Zoo Members

Posted on: Tue, 09/11/2012 - 16:57| By: GinaBina

The main reason we became Peoria Zoo members is because of the baby tigers. The baby tigers are small and cute now, and we want to watch them grow up.  That enclosure will not hold all those tigers indefinitely.  The baby tigers will be there one to two years, before they are moved to another zoo. So, we want to enjoy them now.  An interesting fact a zoo staff member told me was that these four baby tigers are 4 of the 16 tigers born worldwide in captivity.
