The Minnesota Zoo | Tiger Base Camp
In re-imagining the graphic content for the Amur Tiger Base Camp, the Minnesota Zoo wanted to give both an overview of the Amur Tiger's adaptations as well as it's conservation status. The Base Camp features a number of panels describing various behaviors like scratch and spray-marking of territory, as well as a map showing all 9 subspecies of tiger, both living and extinct. I provided digital pen-and-watercolor styled illustrations for each interpretive panel. (©Beth Zaiken)
