Dr. Mark Penning shared the following on Instagram:

“Introducing … Conrad, the “paw-some” new addition to Maharajah Jungle Trek at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park!


🐯 Conrad came to us through a @Zoos_Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan (SSP) recommendation, which helps sustain healthy populations in managed care, including critically endangered Sumatran tigers like Conrad.

Pounce on the opportunity to see this cool cat right “meow” on Maharajah Jungle Trek! 🐾🐅”

Home Away From Home
Disney animal care experts have brought the magic of the rainforest to life—creating a natural and stimulating environment for our tigers.
Here’s a glimpse inside the life of a tiger at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park:

A Natural Setting: The tiger habitat features hills, pools, fountains, trees and logs that provide natural opportunities for the animals to communicate, rest, hide and explore.

Veterinary Care and Animal Training: Following a hand signal or verbal cue from an animal care expert, tigers present their tails and paws for a daily check-up, or position themselves for an ultrasound or blood draw.

Animal Enrichment: Enriching items are placed in the tiger habitat—like perfume-scented items and sacks filled with meat—to encourage natural behaviors like foraging, stalking, running and scent-marking.

Disney Conservation: Saving Tigers
Tiger populations have suffered a rapid decline due to habitat loss, reduction in large prey and increased poaching.

The Walt Disney Company is committed to saving wildlife and protecting the magic of nature together as a global community. Since 1995, the Disney Conservation Fund has supported nonprofit organizations working to protect tiger habitats, reduce poaching and collaborate with communities to encourage human-wildlife coexistence.
