Inquiry Regarding Amurti Tigers and Feedback from Visitors
Amur Tigers at the Wilhelma Zoo Thrive in New Enclosure
The Amur tigers at the Wilhelma Zoo in Stuttgart are adjusting well to their new, expansive, and species-appropriate home, which was officially opened on July 16, 2025. The new enclosure, covering approximately 5,000 square meters, includes multiple outdoor enclosures, an open stable, and large tiger boxes designed for breeding and solitary living [1][2][5].
The tigers, Amazar and Noïa, are becoming accustomed to the stable and are learning to come in on command. They are also being fed flexibly, with meat sourced from the zoo's own production [1]. Visitors can observe the tigers through a visitor tunnel, suggesting the exhibit is open during the zoo's normal operating hours [1][2].
However, it is essential for visitors to be patient and drop by often, as the Amur tigers are still in the acclimatization phase and may not always be visible. The tigers are also known to sleep 20 hours a day and are awake at different times [1].
The Amur tigers in the wild consume deer and wild boar, but the tigers at the Wilhelma are being fed a diet suitable for captive tigers. The zoo's commitment to providing a natural and enriching environment for the tigers is evident in the spacious and well-designed enclosure [1][2].
The new enclosure has been praised for its suitability for children, making it an excellent family-friendly attraction at the Wilhelma Zoo [2]. As the tigers continue to adapt to their new environment, visitors can look forward to witnessing their independence and exploration of their territory.
It is worth noting that the old predator house at the Wilhelma will be rebuilt in the coming years [1]. For the most accurate and current visiting schedule for the Amur tigers, it is recommended to check the official Wilhelma Stuttgart website or contact their visitor services directly.
