ZOO

Nuevo Laredo, Tamps.

Nuevo Laredo has a • Tigrillo Shelter
zoo that is more than
10 years old. An avant-
garde space whose
main objective is the
conservation of wildlife,
with an important
collection for family
recreation, where
educating and raising
awareness in the
management of them has always increased the interest
of visitors. Creating more and more relevant events
for family coexistence in an ecological and natural
environment. In this one, conservation and research
projects are carried out for the integration of the citizen
with the participation of educational institutions.

We promote the approach with the species with
interaction programs, implementing responsible
environmental measures.
The zoo is managed professionally by personnel trained
in their areas of work: leadership in management,
administration, management of exotic species,
nutrition, security, design and construction of shelters,
training professionals for its operation and daily
improvement. This zoo started with 19 species and we
