Meet tiger Ginger Biscuit who has joined the big cats at Woburn Safari Park
The young Amur tiger joins Woburn’s breeding group as keepers say only about 450 remain in the wild.
- On Tuesday, July 7, Ginger Biscuit transferred from Longleat Safari Park to Woburn Safari Park as part of the European Endangered Species Programme , a conservation initiative protecting endangered Amur tigers.
- Born May 9, 2024, at Longleat to parents Yana and Red, the two-year-old's relocation reflects natural tiger behavior; young tigers typically separate from mothers after three years in the wild.
- Amy Waller, Carnivore Team Manager at Longleat, said, "Ginger Biscuit has been a big part of life here," while Woburn keepers prepared her habitat to ensure a smooth transition.
- Staff are gradually introducing her to resident Amur tigers Dmitri and Vera at Woburn, with Ben Davies, Team Leader, Carnivores, saying, "We're looking forward to welcoming Ginger Biscuit to Woburn."
- With around 450 Amur tigers remaining in the wild, breeding initiatives are essential for the species' survival. The EEP coordinates breeding across wildlife parks to maintain healthy, genetically diverse populations.
