TIGER
CAM STARS
Dear Tiger Friends,
Please enjoy seeing our tigers in their home at Ellen Trout
Zoo. Tigers are solitary animals in the wild and we only put
one tiger on exhibit at a time. These photos will help you
know which tiger you are seeing on the camera. Tigers go on
exhibit about 9:00am each morning and then are brought in
for their evening meal at 5:00pm. During times of dangerous
weather, i.e., a severe thunderstorm, tornado or hurricane,
the tigers will be locked inside their night house for their
safety and the safety of our visitors.
Ellen Trout Zoo wishes to say a big “THANK YOU” to Dunbar
PACE first grade teachers Ann Goff, Kellye Marshall, and
Connie Shriver for guiding five years of first grade
students to the accomplishment of the purchase of this tiger
cam. We look forward to sharing our tigers with everyone who
is interested in these magnificent endangered cats.
