The 11 tigers, including Maruay, who had been kept as a spectacle in poor conditions, were rescued by a wildlife shelter in Thailand and are now enjoying their second lives in the wild.
Maruay, now 2 years old, was born at the zoo. They were confined in narrow cages lined with concrete, unable to step on the ground or run around.
Rescued by WFFT, they are now enjoying their newfound freedom in Asia’s largest tiger reserve, as if they were reclaiming their former lives.
They love exploring the reserve and are also curious about humans, often coming up to the staff feeding them or tour guides first to greet them.
