One of our current visions at the Isle of Wight zoo is to improve sleeping quarter accomodation for our big cats. Currently we are working on preparing an enclosure for one of our tigers 'Chandru' that grant access for him to use the new night rooms and shortly he will be moved across the zoo to an enclosure close to an ex love interest of his, 'Lola', which will give him additional happiness.
Today the welder arrived to start finishing off his future night room in the new night room block, installing the neccessary metal framework. With the enclosure empty in the meantime, we have taken the oppourtuniy to prepare 'sun bathing platforms' and other improvements to give Chandru places to perch himself and look charismatic when the Sun is shining. Here is our maintenence team yesterday working on one of the platforms:

'Wide Eyes and Big Whiskers'
A portrait of 'Lola' one of our more fiesty and firey tigress's. As mentioned above she was once introduced to Chandru and it is hoped when Chandru is moved, the close proximity of the two tigers to each other will be beneificial to both tigers. Here she is in a portrait from today showing off her wonderfully large whiskers and firery eyes:
