Tigeropolis

Welcome to Tigeropolis

TIGEROPOLIS is a vast tiger park in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India.

It’s home to a family of vegetarian tigers : Cubs Bittu and his sister Matti, their mother Tala and uncles Raj and VJ. The tigers are hidden away, they enjoy a quiet life away from humans and live in a cosy cave furnished with things they have ‘up-cycled’ that humans have long discarded.

With no tiger sightings in the park for many years, everyone assumes there are no tigers in TIGEROPOLIS, and so, the authorities are keen to close the park, cut down the forest and redevelop.
