One of my favorite visiting points in Schönbrunn are the tigers and their new enclosure.
The enclosure for the tigers and leopards was one of the first new invented sponsoring projects of the former director Dr. Pechlarner.
The old buildings and cages were left for monument conservation reasons and the new outside enclosures were built aside to them. The visitors can enter the old buildings and find there a lot of information about tigers, protection of species and the famous tiger ad videos of the main sponsor Esso.
Watching the tigers in the outside enclosure is a great experience for they live in a family group, youngsters and parents together.
These images show the adult male tiger playing with one of the youngsters.
