"at first, kumar enjoyed the luxury of living in a solitary confinement. they feed him like a king but they isolate him with his kind. he didn't realized this and he was exploited. a celebrity prisoner."

meet the tiger, one of the residents of dubai zoo. it is the oldest zoo of its kind not only in the uae but also in the arabian peninsula. unfortunately, the animals there are unhappy and bored due to lacking space and not suited for their environment. the government are doing the relocation and redevelopment of the zoo in the near future, allowing animals to live in areas designed to be as similar to their natural environment as possible.

the cages, uneven shadows and uneasy movement of the tiger made it difficult for me to get a clear shot.
