I’d have a stab in the dark here and say that the cubs could be the 2 hybrid cubs born at Bullens and sent to Paradise Country for a brief period a few months ago, they would have to be the only around that age by now. When I was there less than 2 weeks ago a keeper said they only had 2 Sumatran males, I think they were brothers.
Yes, the two cubs at Mogo are from Bullens (the ones that were also at Paradise Country earlier in the year). Security Check
That would be Indra and Mattai (born 21/10/2010). That must mean their mother, Soraya, has died recently (unless anyone knows of her being relocated)?
So Mogo had a generic pair plus one offspring. Do they now have five generic tigers, or have some of the others died since?
The mother is Chitwah, who was born at Mogo Zoo in 2014 to Mac and Snow; the father is Baako, who was born at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in 2015 to Lazarus and Maya. The consensus on Facebook seems to be the cub should be called Phoenix, given what Mogo Zoo has been through these past few weeks.
The male lion cub has been named Phoenix. He was born on 23rd December. Meet lion cub Phoenix: Born in flame, melting hearts at Mogo Wildlife Park
After the devastation of the recent bushfires, Mogo Wildlife Park has finally reopened to the public. Security Check
Drove past Mogo Zoo last Saturday and was pleased to see a very full car park. Obvious signs of how close the fires got. Overall heartbreaking to see the devastation the fires caused over a huge area.
Mogo Wildlife Park welcomed the birth of a Plains Zebra this morning. In honour of ANZAC Day the foal has been named Poppy. Security Check
Now this is fantastic news. Mogo Wildlife Park has almost finished the construction of a wildlife hospital. Full story found here: Mogo hospital to help sick, injured, orphaned wildlife nearly complete
Mogo's new veterinary hospital has opened. Their first patient was one of the zoo's white lionesses - 16-year-old Snow - who was given a contraceptive implant. The zoo plans on introducing Snow and her daughters to Baako, their male. Mogo Wildlife Park opens new veterinary hospital
Mogo Wildlife Park has welcomed the birth of 1.0 Giraffe to female Binti. The calf was born yesterday. Mogo Wildlife Park
Yes, you're right. I was just thinking it was a nice tribute for the calf's late great-grandmother: Twiga (1996-2020) > Shani > Binti > Twiga (2020)
Mogo’s current breeding bull is Mtundu (2015). He came from Auckland Zoo in 2017. He has sired two male calves at Mogo - Karn (2019) and Twiga (2020). On a Facebook live stream a few months ago it was also mentioned that female Tuli is pregnant. This will be his third calf when it arrives.
