Two Siberian tigers arrive in Madrid, a success according to the zoo, “an outrage” and a “washing of image” for animal rights activists. Madrid defends that the two specimens are part of a European conservation program.
Altai and Dunay crossed the continent by road in a two-day trip of more than 3,000 kilometers. The Siberian tiger is a solitary and very territorial species. The only herds are made up of mothers and calves under 2 years old. Adult males live and hunt alone.
