A distinctive white tiger rescued from conflict-hit Ukraine has found a new home in Lincolnshire.
Aleks arrived at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, near Friskney, on Saturday after a three-day, 1,600 mile (2,500km) journey.
Park director Steve Nichols said military volunteers looking for survivors in “bombed-out” areas came across him in a residential back garden in June 2024 in the Kharkiv region.
Nichols said, despite his long journey, Aleks was “very grumpy, very achy and very tired,” and added, “but in all honesty he’s actually settling in a little bit better than we thought he would do”.
