#tigers

I had no idea that Sumatran #tigers were so endangered. 😭

This majestic kitty was showing off its claw-sharpening skills and its stripes for us while its companion snoozed on a deck higher up.

The conservation efforts of this particular zoo will include a new tiger habitat and educational center that they're going to open next year. They've actually been quite successful with tigers!

I know that zoos in the past were a colonialist holdover, but many are now conservationist and environmentalist rather than sensationalist, and small ones like this one have pivoted toward more ethical animal care and conservation/education versus for-profit industry.

This particular zoo has bred certain threatened species in captivity with great success. One of them beside the tigers includes a very cool blue beetle, of which I did not get a photo.
