Powerful and majestic, it is capable of jumping 10 meters! <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>White tigers?<\/strong><br\/>The vast majority of tigers have an orange coat, striped with black, but there are white tigers, with black or brown stripes. These are neither a species nor a particular subspecies of tiger. This astonishing coloration is not an adaptation to life in a snowy environment either: it is due to a genetic mutation called &#8220;leucism&#8221;.  <br\/>In the wild, leucistic tigers are only present in the &#8220;Bengal tiger&#8221; subspecies and are extremely rare: only one in 10,000 births is affected! They have always been prized and no longer exist in the wild, the last of them having been killed in 1958. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The situation of tigers in the wild is unfortunately very worrying. Poached for their skin and traditional Chinese medicine, they are also victims of deforestation and the scarcity of their prey. There are less than 4000 of them left in the wild&#8230; That&#8217;s why we support the actions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/animal\/les-tigres-de-siberie-wildcats-conservation-alliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Wildcats Conservation Alliance<\/a> towards the protection of Siberian tigers!   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>At La Barben&#8230;<\/strong><br\/>In 2020, tigers are making their comeback at the park. They evolve in a new 4000 m2 space, fitted out according to their needs. Maybe you can even admire them during their swim thanks to an underwater viewing pool!  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will discover 2 female Siberian tigers, Alena and Zarina, born in 2018 at Dublin Zoo. They were entrusted to us as part of an EEP, European Breeding Programme, set up by the zoological parks of Europe in order to manage the reproduction of endangered species as well as possible.<br\/>They are present with Tsagan, a white tiger male who was entrusted to us by the authorities when he was still a baby: he was illegally kept by a private individual. As this one has been bred by our animal keepers, it is an &#8220;impregnated&#8221; animal, whose integration with other animals is more delicate. This is why the large park is currently available in two stages: in the morning for the female Siberian tigresses, in the afternoon for the male!   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5024,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categorie-de-fiche":[163],"classe":[190],"famille":[204],"ordre":[203],"zone":[],"class_list":["post-5018","animal","type-animal","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorie-de-fiche-animals","classe-mammals","famille-felines","ordre-carnivores"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/animal\/5018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/animal"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/animal"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categorie-de-fiche","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorie-de-fiche?post=5018"},{"taxonomy":"classe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/classe?post=5018"},{"taxonomy":"famille","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/famille?post=5018"},{"taxonomy":"ordre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ordre?post=5018"},{"taxonomy":"zone","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.parcanimalierlabarben.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zone?post=5018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
