In 2013 three cubs were born in Nordens Ark, to Sparta and Bojan. Amur (m) (zoo Magdeburg, now Kristiansand), Sibiri (f) (Korkeasaari zoo) en another female named Altaica. Altaica supposedly moved to the Czech Republic, does anyone know to which zoo and if she is still there/had cubs there/has since moved again?
Altaica lives at Ohrada zoo in Hluboká/Czech republic. Her partner is named Oliver. She had one cub in 2017 that she neglected and it died young (11 days old). The next litter was 20.5.2018 and it was 3 females and 1 male. These cubs were sent together to zoo Bellewaerde/Belgium in December 2019. Altaica and Oliver got a new breeding recomendation only in this year, they were mating in March and if it goes well, she could have new litter soon. Edit: video footage of Altaica with Oliver from 2021 is here. No English subtitles through. Tygří námluvy | Zoo Hluboká

Do you know how old the white tigers are? According to the zoo plans they will continue having Siberian tigers and add the enclosure of the white tigers when they are (finally) gone.
