Just a same name. This one is Jihlava´s born and raised AFAIK the London one is in Prague now

 

Great news, thank you. And, , , , Happy 5th birthday, Cinta!
I hope she has a nice day with her newborn cub(s).
Jihlava Cinta was born March 28th 2013 at Jihlava. Her mother is Suma, father is Dastin.

Jihlava cubs now confirmed as twins

 

The past weekend a friend told me Terra Natura Benidorm don't have Sumatran tigers any more.
In it's former enclosure we can see clouded leopards. Any of you have moreinformation about these animals?
Many thanks in advance.

 

They originally had two females from Dortmund in 2004. Bahagia and Bagira. Bahagia was transferred to Edinburgh in 2011. The remaining sister (Bagira) was later joined by a male from Rotterdam called Vanni. Unfortunately it wasn't successful and he killed her during a failed introduction..... He transferred from Benidorm to Frankfurt in Spring 2017

 

Sad to read about that. In any case, many thanks for the information Nisha.

 

Some recent updates

The twins at Jihlava are both female. Now called Mau and Surya

Twycross and Amiens will both receive Sumatran Tigers within the next 12 months

 

The male tiger KABUS moved vom Belfast Zoo to Naturzoo Rheine/Germany yesterday. Rheine has two sisters born 2009 in Lisbon - one of them will move to a zoo in England.

 

Hi Senpus what English zoo is the Rheine tiger moving to?

Kind regards The Hedgehog

 

The other female from Rhiene will go to Howletts (apparently)

The last male at Rhiene was Kabus's father, Batu. He arrived from Chessington in 2008 and stayed until his transfer to Aalborg in 2013.

 

Thanks I was hoping she was going to Paington to replace thier ageing female Shakira

 

Paignton are still on lockdown due to TB restrictions. No Mammals (human's exempt) are allowed in or out of the site under any circumstances until the restrictions are lifted. That could potentially take years.
So they couldn't have accepted her even if they were offered her.

 

Yes, I think one of the sisters will go to Howletts, they announced that they will receive a female from Germany.
Is Lucu also still in Paignton because of those TB restrictions?

 

Yes Lucu is still at Paignton along with Fabi and Shakira. He won't be going anywhere for now

 

Tierpark Berlin have announced the birth of 2.2 cubs. Born on the 4th August. These are the first (surviving) Sumatran Tigers born at Tierpark in 15 years. Not only that but both parents (Mayang and Harfan) were imported from Taman Safari in 2013 and are new founders/bloodlines to the EEP. Themselves having been born to wild caught parents

I don't think that I'd be going too far as to call these cubs the single most important birth of the Sumatran Tiger EEP in over 30 years

Gestreifte Hoffnung

 

Finally we waited so long. I keep my fingers crossed.

 

The Howletts Zoo announced that this month tigress AGUIA will arrive from Naturzoo Rheine/Germany.

 

What happened to Howlett's previous pair of Sumatrans?

 

Both passed away - Indah (the female) in August 2017 and Amir in March 2018
