Abu Our Majestic Friend

13th June 2001 - 27th May 2009

On Wednesday 27th May we also lost another member of the Zion Family, the stunningly handsome Royal White Bengal tiger Abu. Zion Wildlife Gardens has struggled to cope with the loss of one of our much-loved big cats.

Abu was a water-loving 8 year-old Royal White Bengal tiger, who was always interested in what was going on around him. He would chuff away to visitors, and loved having a fuss made of him! Weighing in at approximately 260kgs, Abu was a big boy and his playful personality was well-known throughout the Gardens.
