“Today, you are looking after the zoo’s newest arrival, Nadezhda, a baby Amur tiger. Amur tigers are the largest type of tiger in the world, living mostly in the birch forests of eastern Russia. They are also an endangered species, with only about five hundred and forty alive in the wild. Nadezhda means “hope” in Russian, because with so few Amur tigers remaining, each one carries the hope of the species.”
