The Bedford Estates, LondonWelcome Ginger Biscuit
Say hello to Ginger Biscuit, the newest Amur tiger to join the Road Safari at Woburn Safari Park.
A bold new chapter begins in the Kingdom of the Carnivores as Ginger Biscuit, a spirited, curious young Amur tiger officially joined the Woburn family on 7th of July.
Born at Longleat on 9 May 2024, she arrives as part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP), playing a vital role in the future of one of the world’s rarest big cat species.
- Ginger Biscuit is one of four female cubs born to mother Yana and father Red, alongside her sisters Dora-Boo, Heidi and Seeka.
- Known for her curious nature and her love of the habitat's pond spending hours splashing, exploring and playing with her sisters.
- Growing into independence, just as wild tigers naturally leave their mothers to establish their own territories.
How does a tiger move house?
Moving a tiger is no small task. Ahead of Ginger Biscuit's arrival, Woburn's Carnivore Team has been preparing her habitat and overnight facilities, while working closely with the expert keepers at Longleat to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
Ginger Biscuit will be given plenty of time to settle into her new surroundings, including exploring each of three large enclosures adjacent to the house and used for overnight access, plus the main nine acre drive-through reserve. She will also become accustomed to sharing space with her new neighbours, residents Minerva and Dmitri.

"We're looking forward to welcoming Ginger Biscuit to Woburn. She's an important addition to the European breeding programme, and her arrival reflects the role modern safari parks play in protecting species that are under real pressure in the wild. Our team will be focused on helping her settle in and ensuring she continues to thrive."
Amy Waller, Carnivore Team Manager at Longleat:
"Ginger Biscuit has been a big part of life here over the past two years, and we've watched her grow into a confident young tiger alongside her sisters. While it's always a difficult moment to see them move on, this is exactly what the programme is designed for, and we're proud to see her heading to Woburn as part of that wider conservation effort."
