The enclosure space of a tiger in a zoo varies significantly depending on the facility's standards and regulations, but it is generally designed to provide ample room for the animal to roam, climb, and exhibit natural behaviors. Ideally, a tiger's enclosure should be at least several thousand square feet, with features like water pools, climbing structures, and vegetation to simulate a natural habitat. Zoos often strive to create environments that promote the physical and mental well-being of the tiger. Proper enrichment and space are crucial to prevent stress and ensure the animal's overall health.
Hari the tiger at London Zoo was involved in an incident in 2005 when he escaped his enclosure, leading to the zoo being placed on lockdown. He was later shot by the zoo's staff, which caused significant public outcry and raised concerns about animal welfare and enclosure safety. The incident highlighted the challenges of managing large predators in captivity and prompted discussions about zoo practices.
An ophidiarium is an enclosure that holds snakes and is typically found at a zoo.
Zoo animals all have different space needs. It is always best to give the animal the biggest enclosure possible.
Tigers and raccoons do not live in the same habitat, so, technically, no. If a raccoon lived in a zoo, perhaps, and meandered into the tiger enclosure, though, the tiger might eat it.

White tigers require a significant amount of space in a zoo to ensure their physical and mental well-being. Ideally, they should have access to an enclosure that is at least 1,500 to 2,500 square feet, with additional areas for climbing, hiding, and exploring. Enrichment features such as pools, trees, and varied terrain are also important to mimic their natural habitat and promote natural behaviors. Proper space and enrichment help reduce stress and encourage healthy activity levels.
The tiger's name in the movie is "Spar". The tiger who was the "actress" who played Spar, if I recall correctly is "Katie".
The San Francisco Zoo had a tiger escape its enclosure on Christmas Day 2007; three young men were viewing the tiger--some say harassing and taunting it--when the tiger leaped over what was later deemed to be a fence that was too low by official zoo inspectors (it has since been replaced with secure fencing of regulation height). One of the young men was killed, the other two escaped and the tiger wandered over to the cafe, terrorizing people. Response was very slow; the tiger was eventually shot--don't remember if it was with bullets or tranquilizer darts.
