Sumatran tiger

The smallest tiger of them all… but the most threatened.

This subspecies of tiger is the last still living on the islands of Indonesia. Weighing 140 kilos and measuring 220 cm long, it is difficult to imagine that it is the smallest representative of its species. Its size does not stop it from attacking some truly imposing prey, such as elephants!

Did you know ?

The relocation of the African lions

Last call for the big cats travelling to… the Land of the Lions!

In 2017, our family of African lions, previously housed in the Big Cat Woodlands territory, set foot in their new space for the first time. Waving goodbye to a truly historic part of the park, they headed for a new territory that had been completely redesigned to meet their needs.

« Doesn’t feel like a zoo, more viewing animals in their habitats. Amazing cat families; white tigers, jaguars, leopards and new to 2018: Cheetahs. »

Beauval Nature supports the protection of jaguars

The jaguar is threatened by habitat loss linked with deforestation. It is also a victim of local livestock farmers who, in order to protect their herds, will readily shoot jaguars. 

The 'Jaguar of Iguaçu’ project plans to equip several adult jaguars with GPS collars. This will allow light to be shed on the movements of these individuals and their use of the habitat, enabling the vital territory of the species to be determined. The project is also conducting a study on the impact of ecotourism on the species as well as an educational programme to change the attitudes of the local population.
