This story
Three-year-old Sumatran tigress Tipah was transferred from Frankfurt Zoo to Howletts Wild Animal Park in Bekesbourne. Keepers gave her space to explore her new enclosure before beginning gradual introductions to resident tiger Achilles. The team monitored the pair closely as they got to know each other.
