Two Siberian tigers, also known as Amur tigers, enjoy a refreshing treat of frozen goat milk on a warm day. Although their natural diet consists primarily of meat, carefully selected enrichment foods can provide captive tigers with hydration, sensory stimulation, and opportunities to express natural behaviors.
As they lick and explore the frozen treat, the tigers engage their senses and satisfy their natural curiosity. The cool milk can also help them stay comfortable during warmer weather.
Simple enrichment activities like this can play an important role in supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of these magnificent big cats, keeping them active, curious, and engaged.
