VIDEO: Bengal Tigers are introduced to new enclosure at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in Friskney
The 11 tigers took their first steps into their three acre, state-of-the-art enclosure, complete with Bengal temple, spectacular climbing frames, lake, leisure and play areas.
Park owner, Steve Nichols, said: “My stomach was like a washing machine as they took their first steps in the enclosure but it went really well, even better than we had hoped. It’s been a very emotional day and seeing them walking on the grass in the enclosure for the first time and taking to their environment, I had a lump in my throat.

Visitors will be able to see the tigers in their new enclosure at the grand opening Easter weekend.
