The Four Bengal tigers that for the last 15 years had been living in
an enclosure have found a new home they originally were a part of a traveling circus
in Argentina and this is their story take a look these Bengal tigers have made
a long Journey they were rescued and flown in from Argentina to a different
continent and this will be their new home at the lime's rock pickax sanctuary
in south Africa these tigers have suffered years of abuse their skeletal gaunt
frames are a result of having spent 15 long years in the cramped conditions of
a railway carriage where they had been locked you with very little food , i was
more excited than the tigers but the tiger was as i expect somehow they were
scared to go out but when they go out immediately they wanted to discover the
place to to to just to smell the grass to to taste it and they want to defend they wanted to secure
their new place so they need some time now to calm down and they still have
long way to learn about their area and the new territory also they will get
later on the tigers are being released initially into specialist enclosures they
are fenced off but this is the closest to their natural habitat these tigers
were a part of a traveling circus before they were abandoned circus animals are
often declawed and don't have the survival skills to survive in the wild we are
happy that they arrived really safe and that they are released but now for us
the work starts so we are gonna it for the next few weeks or however long it
takes we're gonna monitor them now to see if they are settling in as you can
see they're very nervous at the moment and everything is new and they're
aggressive with each other and don't know what to do with all these new Things so
we will start them coming here often feeding them getting them used to all our staff
and our caretakers so that they learn to know what is our routine and when they
start relaxing then the next step is to let them out in the beginning in the
bigger enclosure for now the tigers are being kept in pairs it will be many
weeks before they develop their appetite the lion's rock big cat sanctuary is
home to over 90 rescued big cats and the rescuers hope that the tigers can make
a quick Recovery bureau report we on world is one.
