It's International Tiger Day on 29 July each year and it's the paw-fect opportunity to celebrate our tiger family at London Zoo!
London Zoo is home to four critically endangered Sumatran tigers - Gaysha, Asim and their cubs Zac and Crispin. But how much do you know about them? Our Tiger Day activities for 2023 have now passed, but join us at London Zoo to visit our family, learn all about their incredible adaptations, the threats tigers are sadly facing in the wild, and how ZSL is working to protect them.
Why are Sumatran tigers so special?
These beautiful apex predators are vital to the biodiversity of healthy Indonesian forests but are suffering at the hands of unsustainable palm oil production and the Illegal Wildlife Trade.
With only an estimated 300 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, it is vital that we celebrate our amazing ambassadors here at the Zoo in order to raise awareness of their plight.
Under-3's and ZSL Members enter the Zoo for free.
Sumatran tiger conservation
The island of Sumatra is home to the critically endangered Sumatran tiger, a sub-species of tiger not found anywhere else in the world. At ZSL, we’re working at the cutting-edge of conservation to protect Sumatran tigers and other endangered tigers in Asia.
