Fota roars into action with new tiger woods

Ireland’s wildest attraction just got a whole lot wilder thanks to new tiger woods.

A pair of Sumatran tigers were prowling through Fota Wildlife Park’s new Tiger Forest enclosure yesterday as the first phase of its proposed €6m Asian Sanctuary extension was unveiled.

The park’s first tigers, Denar, a two-year-old male, from Warsaw Zoo in Poland, and Dourga, a two-year-old female from Le Parc des Félins in Nesles, France, are now roaming freely inside what is now one of the largest tiger enclosures in Europe.
