Sumatran Tigers in Europe

A very interesting move. Having been to Terra Natura Benidorm I remember their Sumatran Tiger exhibit being rather small. They did house 0.2 for a number of years before 'Baginda' moved to Edinburgh. Do you know when this move took place?

 

Very recently I would think,

 

Vanni left thursday (30-8)

 

Couple of upcoming transfers

The first half of ZSL's new pair is now confirmed as "Melati" from Perth, Australia. She is expected to arrive in the UK later this year and should be joined by a male from the United States at some stage

Male, Batu (B2003 Berlin Tierpark, Morris X Santana) will be moved from NaturZoo Rhiene to Aalborg in the coming months to form a none breeding pair with the ex Heidelberg female, Kim who moved to Denmark earlier in the summer. Rhiene will then be left with the pair of females they recieved from Lisbon earlier in 2012

Male, Tondi from Honolulu is due to arrive at LPDF very shortly (if hasn't already arrived) as a mate for Isha who came from Dubbo in June.

There is a post on LPDF's Facebook about him but the English translation wasn't very clear so apologies in advance if I've got the wrong the end of the stick somewhere

 

Male, Lumpar (B1997 at Amneville) and female, Raika (B1995 at Berlin Tierpark) have today been moved from ZSL London Zoo to a retirement home at Wildlife Heritidge Foundation in Kent

 

Apologies for the earlier confusion: Tondi will arrive in France on 11th October

 

Nice, thnx for the update.

 

The new male for ZSL London is today announced as "Jae Jae" from San Francisco via Akron, Ohio

Male, Tondi has been slightly delayed and is now expected to arrive at Nesles on Friday 19th October

 

..and he's en-route from Frankfurt Airport to Nesles as I type. Expected to arrive in the next few hours

Been a busy few weeks for imports

 

Death

Saddend to report the death of female, Berhala at Nesles recently. Berhala, Was born at Doue la Fontaine in 1992 had been previously kept at Cerza and Auneau before transfering to Le Parc De Felins in 2006 when Auneau closed. Nesles are now left with 2.1 following this death and the arrival of Tondi

 

Female, Nila (B21/10/11 Fabi X Kirana) was today moved from Chester to Le PAL. Here she will join male, Taru (B 05/2011 at Frankfurt) as Le PAL's first potential breeding pair.....

 

New holder?

I have heard reports that Ree Park have received two females from Prague (Falco x Surami?). If the reports are true then, this is another new holder.

 

New Holder

Sisters, Gemma and Gasha (B06/11) have today been moved together from Praha to Ebeltoft, Denmark. Ree Park become Denmark's 2nd holder for Sumatrans following the arrival of this pair

 

She's been paired with Asim but the rest of your data is bob on Nisha!

 

Nila has been paired with Taru (B05/11 at Frankfurt, Malea X Iban)
Tila has travelled to Heidelberg to meet up with Taru's brother, Asim (same litter)

 

Bugger - I did it in two places it'd been a long day!

 

Fota, Cork will become Ireland's 2nd holder for Sumatran Tiger when they receive a breeding pair in September 2013. The individuals have already been sourced from France and Germany
