Adorable video shows rare tiger playing in the snow at the zoo during UK cold weather snap

Adorable footage shows how an Amur tiger has been making the most of the snow at Whipsnade Zoo, during the UK cold weather snap. Amur tigers have the thickest coat of all subspecies, to make them thrive in the Siberian mountains - meaning Miron - the tiger in the video - is well equipped for the cold weather.

But other animals have also been enjoying the cold weather, as the West Midlands Wildlife Park was transformed into a Christmas Card-esque wonderland - which their Sumatran Tigers, Zebras and Deer all appeared to thrive in.
