New Amur tiger debuts at the Smithsonian's National Zoo
Description:
For the first time since 1948, the Great Cats habitat at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo is once again home to an Amur tiger, a 10-year-old male named Pavel. He came to the Zoo from the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Ill. Keepers describe the new-cat-in-town’s personality as reserved but laid-back when interacting with animal care staff. Beginning Jan. 5, Pavel will rotate daily on exhibit.
