Wild Animal Wednesday's! Beardsley Zoo Needs Your Help! Show Your Support and Check Out Their Newest Addition

Naka is the newest addition to the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, CT!  She is a four year old female Amur, or Siberian tiger, that recently arrived from the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse New, York.

Plans are in place to breed Naka and Booskin (the male Amur at Beardsley) in the next year. Female Amurs usually give birth to 2 or 3 cubs. The Amur is a critically endangered subspecies of tiger. Only approximately 44 of these great cats survive in northern Asia and suffer from habitat loss and poaching.  (photo courtesy of Lauren Collier and News Channel 12 CT)
