Tigress ZOJA (born in Zoo Warsaw) moved from CERZA to Sosto Zoo a few weeks ago. It's planned to breed with her and GIO since he and LARA didn't produce cubs. I don't know what happend to LARA.

Ree Park Safari - 0.0.3 cubs born in early February. Asim X Gasha. Conceived before Asim's move to London at the end of January

Ree Park have also clarified that they expect to receive male, Jae-Jae from Le Parc De Felins once Gasha is ready to breed again.

So how many litters /cubs have Asim and Gasha now had and how many survived ?

Litter 1 - 0.1 at Aalborg and 1.0 at Ramat Gan. 1.0 was PTS due to a genetic issue (discussed elsewhere in the thread)

Litter 2 - 0.1 at Fuengirola. 0.1 DNS

Litter 3 - all 0.0.3 cubs died within 8 weeks of birth. Cause unknown

Litter 4 - the latest litter of 0.0.3

Zoo de la Fleche are also building a new Sumatran Tiger enclosure currently. Not sure if this is to house a second pair or they will relocate the current individuals (Jalur and Wanita) into it?

Thank you for the information.
I saw the photos in the article. Mother Ratna's eyes look somewhat unusual. Does anyone know if she may have problems on her eyes?

Do Chessington still have any Sumatran tigers now?

Ratna is cross eyed. It can sometimes happen with big cats who are handreared (Ratna was) depending on the milk formula they were fed

Not at the moment. I don't believe they intend to carry on with the species (now they have the Amur's in a much newer enclosure) but we could be surprised yet

The zoo is holding an auction to name the cubs. The three highest bidders will each choose a name (with the profits going to Wildcats Conservation Alliance)

Confirmed today that Jalur and Wanita will move into the new enclosure. It is larger than the current exhibit, will have underwater viewing and is expected to be open in May

Is there a newer issue of studbook available somewhere, or is the one from 2008 still the newest available?

 

[Michel L'HUILLIER]

At least interessed by European SB...

Is there a newer issue of studbook available somewhere, or is the one from 2008 still the newest available?

Do you have a link to this?
