It is not unusual for animals in such situations to become fearful, aggressive, depressed or even to harm themselves. But tigers are amazingly resilient and Tigger was one of the lucky ones. Once at Safe Haven, he took one look around his new spacious, clean enclosure, complete with weather tight den, tiger lounging pool, raised sunning platform, and he was home.
