Tiger Mountain, which opened on May 15, 2003, is a three-acre exhibit which features [[Siberian tiger|Amur tiger]]s and occasionally [[Malayan tiger]]s, who are usually kept off-exhibit. The exhibit has two enclosures with glass viewing, the second of which has a 10,000 gallon pool with underwater viewing. Outside of the [[tiger]]s, the exhibit has multiple interactive displays designed to educate visitors on [[behavioral enrichment]] and on the zoo's/WCS' [[ex-situ]] and [[in-situ conservation]].

The exhibit won the AZA Exhibit Award in 2004.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zoolex.org/zoolexcgi/view.py?id=817 |title=ZooLex Exhibit |access-date=January 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122657/http://www.zoolex.org/zoolexcgi/view.py?id=817 |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The zoo has had good breeding successful with both [[subspecies]] of tiger, having bred both in 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/2010/09/twice-the-tiger-triplets-at-the-bronx-zoo.html |title=Twice the Tiger Triplets at the Bronx Zoo! |work=ZooBorns |access-date=February 29, 2016 |archive-date=March 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307065627/http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/2010/09/twice-the-tiger-triplets-at-the-bronx-zoo.html |url-status=live}}</ref> Another set of Siberian tiger cubs were born in 2012,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/2012/09/tiger-triplets-debut-at-bronx-zoo.html |title=Tiger Triplets debut at Bronx Zoo |work=ZooBorns |access-date=February 29, 2016 |archive-date=March 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307071211/http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/2012/09/tiger-triplets-debut-at-bronx-zoo.html |url-status=live}}</ref> and a pair of Malayan tiger cubs were born in 2016.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.today.com/video/so-cute-meet-the-new-tiger-cubs-at-the-bronx-zoo-657967683653 |title=So cute!
