Melody, the two year old tigress that used to belong to Juan Antonio Roca, the jailed Urbanisation councillor in Marbella has now arrived in the Noah's Ark Foundation in Benimantell (Alicante).

Members of the foundation, who were consulted over the state of the animal, suggested that she should immediately be transferred to their installations as her health was starting to become a serious concern.

She is apparently settling in well according to various sources, and is currently in an area with two male tigers, who, like Melody, have had their claws removed.
