Dad spotlight

Botzman, our male Amur tiger, came to Highland Wildlife Park in 2020 and bonded quickly with our female, Dominika.

In May 2021 they welcomed three cubs — Nishka, Layla and Aleksander. Botzman was amazing with the cubs and loved spending time with them, which made introductions very easy.

Keepers would often find Botzman and Aleksander curled up together during morning checks!
