About the artwork

The Australian Zoo is home to several species of wild animals from Australia and around the world. One of the most impressive animals at the zoo is the tiger. These majestic and powerful animals are one of the most iconic species in the world and attract thousands of visitors to the Australian Zoo every year. The tigers at the Australian Zoo are of the species Sumatran tigers, which are native to the rainforests of Sumatra in Indonesia. These beautiful animals are threatened by habitat destruction, poaching and conflicts with humans, which has dramatically reduced the population. The Australian Zoo is dedicated to the conservation and recovery of the Sumatran tiger population. The zoo is involved in several projects aimed at protecting tiger habitat in Sumatra and promoting sustainable agricultural practices to reduce impacts on tigers and their habitat. Visitors to the Australian Zoo can see the Sumatran tigers up close during daily presentations and interactions. The tigers are cared for by trained keepers and supported by a team of experts in animal behaviour, nutrition and health. Visitors can also learn more about tiger biology and behaviour through information boards and educational displays in the zoo. One of the most exciting ways to experience tigers at the Australian Zoo is during the tiger walk. Visitors can join a walk with a trained guide and see the tigers up close while they relax, play and eat. This is a unique and unforgettable experience that truly showcases the power and grace of these magnificent animals.
