    Hello I've a question about the malayan tigers in these parc - maybe someone can help me.

    1.0 SIRIUS (born october 2007 Zoo Halle/Germany) came with his brother JOHANN in 2009. JOHANN move to Zoo Prag last year.

    0.1 RADJA (born july 2005 Zoo Halle/Germany) came from Zoo Prag in 2014
    Is I found no news since the transfer about her... she still at the parc?

    And this year a young female named SALWEEN was transfered from Zoo Berlin to Nesles. I found no news about her, too.

    It would be nice if someone had some news about the females. Thank you.

    The park has sent their male Persian leopard, Sinbad, to the breeding and reintroduction center in Sochi, Russia. He will be acclimated in a large compound to learn how to hunt and live in the wild, before being released into the national park. In return, the center is sending a male with wild genes to Parc Felins to boost the European breeding program.

    Great news! Lots of good cat breeding has gone on here, but I believe this is their first litter of cheetahs.

    Some bits of news over the last few months from their website news feed. Please note I am trying to translate this from French of which I know very, very little, so take this with a grain of salt. (The English version of their site has not had the news feed updated since 2015, which is why I have to use the French version).

    The recent attempt to create a tiger prey zone with herbivores has been abandoned. The gaurs were sent to Cabarceno (in Spain I think?) and the space will be used for a cat exhibit.

    Raised boardwalks have been built to extend into the massive (several acre) lion and white tiger exhibits.

    The petting area near the front has been expanded to an area called Babbette's Farm (when you translate the French to English).

    Exactly Nisha, where her mother was living between 2013 and 05/2017.
    SAGUARO went to Jurques (last week 09/2018).
    and SEKANI planned to go soon in an African zoo.

    JAE JAE (M) - the London zoo's emblematic Sumatran tiger - just arrived this week at PdF.
    Great news, he is OK, and very calm told us the carer yesterday.
    We had the luck to see his head at the window of his box.
    Arrived to mate with ISHA (f).

    NEKO (M), 18 month old snow leopard arrived yesterday from Italy.
    We were just there at the moment the truck arrived to his box.
    Sadly, no possible photo from the place we were.
    Transferred to mate with ATHOWA (F).
    Does someone know the zoo he's coming from ?
    The carer told us Italy, but doesn't know the exact place.
