Edinburgh Zoo Too Hot for Siberian Tigers

The Edinburgh Zoo is too hot for two Siberian tigers, which have to be moved farther north to account for the warming climate, according to The Express.

Zookeepers are hoping that Sasha and Yuri will feel more at home in the Scottish Highlands.

The largest cat in the world, the Siberian (or Amur) tiger is native to the far eastern forests of Russia Loss of habitat, poaching (in many cases, for use in Chinese medicine) and the hunting of its prey are among the major reasons for declines in the wild populations of these majestic tigers.
