The two tigers were relocated to their new home at the Safe Haven Wildlife Sanctuary in Neva. At that time they were both 12 years old.
These two were finally given the opportunity to experience what it would be like to live in the wild after 12 hard, cruel years.
Kelly Donithan from the International Fund For Animal Welfare (IFAW) drives to see the tigers in their new home. She observed them make their first swim attempt.
Lily was a pro and effortlessly adjusted to the water as though she had been swimming her entire life!
It’s pretty amazing to see these stunning big cats enjoying themselves so much because tigers are known to adore water.
