The death of Marwell Zoo's male Amur tiger, Bagai

Awful news from Marwell Zoo this afternoon - the male Amur tiger, Bagai, has sadly died. Carrie Arnold, Carnivore Team Leader, said: “He was lovable, goofy and cheeky. He was always playing 'hide and seek' with his keepers, trying to hide behind rocks and plants, not realising he was bigger than all of them. “Bagai had a huge personality and was loved by everyone that saw him.
