Captive Lion and Tiger weights
|
I got one more reply from Cherry Brook Zoo, again I want to say thank you for people there for good information and being nice!
Here is text and I attach screen shot. "We are more than happy to answer any and all questions regarding our animals. We are completely dedicated to animal conservation and enrichment, and believe the first step is to educate the public on all our animals! The weights given to you for Nyla and Baikal came directly from their medical records and transfer records, by one of our senior staff members. We loved your video, as well as your discussion on wildfact, but sometimes when our tigers are lying down they look a bit larger than they are in reality. We appreciate that you reached out to verify their weights to ensure an accurate analysis! Our current tigers Uno and Luna are 400lbs and 275-300lbs respectively (well within the average) and I have attached a video and a couple of photos of them! Luna and Uno are beautiful tigers and there favourite activities include painting and lounging in their pool! If you have any more questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email or call! Kind Regards, The Cherry Brook Zoo" I got two photos of Luna and one video, I attach those here. Sanjay, maybe you can look if you can get these photos visible also to non-members? Personally I would like still to encourage people to visit zoos, these zoos do important work in conservation of many endangered animals, Amur tigers one of those species in difficult situation. Visiting zoos are funny and easy way to help zoos financially and get good information. I know, that some people don´t like to see animals in cages and that isn´t naturally optimal situation, but this whole world isn´t optimal. Responsible zoos have undeniable and important part in educating people and doing concrete conservation work. This is website of Cherry Brook Zoo: http://www.cherrybrookzoo.ca/ I also want to say thank you to Assiniboine Park Zoo for quick answering and friendly attitude in discussion, this is their website: https://assiniboinepark.ca/zoo?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvOyu2sD44gIVh9GyCh1cpgeNEAAYASAAEgJJr_D_BwE Even though they don´t pay to me, please visit zoos every now and then and become a part of wildlife conservation! Small things help when many people do. In photos seems to be tigress Luna. |
