The tigers, reported to be exhausted and in poor condition, will be nursed back to heath and then sent to an animal shelter in Spain, according to media reports.
A truck carrying 10 tigers in total from Italy to a zoo in Russia was stranded on the Polish-Belarusian border after the driver was found to be lacking proper travel documents.
One of the animals died after Belarusian authorities did not let the truck enter their country, citing missing paperwork, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency has reported.
The tigers were a gift for a zoo in Russia's southern province of Dagestan, according to Polish private radio broadcaster RMF FM.
The truck with the animals set off from the Polish-Belarusian border crossing in Koroszczyn for a zoo in Poznań on Wednesday afternoon.
