Lake Superior Zoo last week welcomed a spectacular new addition to its family: an Amur tiger called Taj.
Taj, who is 6 years old, takes up residence at the zoo in Duluth after arriving on Jan. 7.
It comes two months after the death of the zoo's long-time resident Amur tiger, Lana, who had to be euthanized at the age of 15 due to ill health.
The Amur Tiger is an endangered species due to hunting & forest destruction in Russia & China
