Both the couples have become inseparable which bodes well for the future and the conservation of their species. As the Park celebrates its 50th birthday this year, the best birthday present we could have would be to hear the patter of tiny paws.â?..For Valentineâ??s Day, keepers made large cardboard hearts and used their own versions of animal aphrodisiacs, to tempt the couples closer...For the tigers, itâ??s n (Credit Image: © M

Red pandas are â??endangeredâ?? and Sumatran tigers are classed as â??critically endangeredâ??, so both species also provide awareness opportunities of their threats in the wild...She continued, â??After initial wariness and a few arguments as they got to know each other, love has been in the air as we approach spring.
