New park receives batch of 56 Manchurian tigers
Fifty-six Manchurian tigers were taken from Heilongjiang province to Shenyang, capital of Liaoning province, reaching their new home in Guaipo Park on Tuesday. This was the largest ever transfer of tigers in China.
The tigers, aged 1 or 2 years, used to be kept in Heilongjiang Manchurian Tiger Park, which is the largest one in the country. The park is opening a branch in Shenyang, which will house 103 tigers. The other 47 tigers were transferred to Shenyang in several trips last month.
