After nearly two months of closure due to the covid-19 virus restrictions, the Zoo re-opened in mid-May under certain restrictions.

Special precautions have been put in place to protect both visitors and staff alike: face masks are mandatory at all times; special disinfection of handrails, public restrooms and other areas; closure of water fountains, indoor exhibits and exhibits with crawling tunnels (such as the prairie dogs).

Additionally, the Zoo has added a number of special stations for hand washing and water-bottle filling with non-touch, infra-red technology.

The Zoo's tigers, Avigdor and Hannah, have been enjoying the quiet but unfortunately it does not seem to have resulted in a pregnancy for Hannah. 

Hannah is now over sixteen years old so her chances of having a healthy pregnancy are beginning to decrease.

Take care and stay safe, 

Rachael and the Tiger Tea,
