A two-year-old female tiger belonging to the world’s rarest – and smallest – sub-species has arrived to Nyíregyháza zoo in the northeast of the country from the Dutch city of Arnhem. Sumatran tigers are faced by an immediate threat of extinction, with less than 100 examples living in the wild left.
Nyíregyháza zoo is the only institution in Hungary to have an example of the magnificient animal.
Lara, the female tiger that has now arrived under an international conservation and breeding programme, will accompany Giora, a male that has been living in the zoo for five years.
Zookeepers expect the two to produce a populous family.
