It’s Snowing in Western Sydney

Sydney Zoo announces the addition of snow to enrich the lives of two tigers

Sydney Zoo is excited to announce our two majestic tigers Raja & Nika now have a snow field as part of our animal enrichment program.

The resident tigers woke to find their habitat covered in soft, fluffy snow. Nika, the fourteen-year-old Siberian tiger, showed her inquisitive nature, stepping cautiously onto the ice for the first time, then grappled playfully with the snow.

This unique addition to the tiger habitat includes 20 tonnes of snow and provides Raja & Nika an opportunity to explore ice for the first time.

Carnivore keepers were thrilled with the tigers’ reaction to their enrichment. “We saw lots of jumping around and playful behaviour, and also some fantastic natural predatory behaviours. This is an exciting example of Sydney Zoo’s ongoing commitment to ensuring we provide the highest level of positive animal welfare by stimulating natural behaviour and sensory experiences” David French, Curator of Carnivores said.

Keep an eye out for the snow enrichment over the school holidays. Guests can also see the zoo from a different view on the NEW Ferris wheel, but it’s only here for a short time. And don’t forget to say hello to the new mischievous pair of otters and three cheeky baboon babies.

Sydney Zoo is open every day of the school holidays from 9am – 4pm. Buy your zoo tickets online and save up to 27% or become a member from just $99! Tickets selling fast at sydneyzoo.com.
