Come meet Sasha at the new Alice S. Etscorn Tiger Tundra
Sasha, a 350-pound male Amur tiger, is currently trading time in the spotlight with 16-year-old female Amur tiger Sinda during the Zoo’s three training and educational presentations at the newly renovated Alice S. Etscorn Tiger Tundra exhibit where one can get nose-to-nose with the most magnificent cats on earth! 

The new Alice S. Etscorn Tiger Tundra gives guests a thrilling yet safe opportunity to enjoy an eye level view of Amur tigers through a 1.5” reinforced glass barrier. Feel the rumble of their roar. Zookeepers conduct training and enrichment demonstrations daily at 10:30 a.m., 2 and 3:30 p.m. (weather permitting).
