At Parco Natura Viva (Bussolengo) three cubs (2.1) were born on 3 June 2020 to mum Luva and father Botsman (if it is the same one when did move from Whipsnade?). The three have been named Krai, Zov and Alina.

Thank you for the information. Pootsman must have moved to Bussolengo from Lesna-Got (see above link).and is named as the the father of the 3 cubs born there 10 April 2019. I initially thought it may have been Botzman because of the name - do both translate into English as 'Boatman'?.

Looks like Pootsman is having quite a tour since he left Tallinn!
 
Male Samur (b.26 Jun 2012, Wuppertal), who moved to Nuremberg on 6 Nov 2013, moved to Stendal, 5 Nov 2020.
His replacement at Nuremberg is 'Nikolai', born at Lisbon, 20 May 2017 to Tantan & Natalia. He was originally named 'Huma' in Portugal. He moved to Hodenhagen (unfortunately, I do not when) and from there to Nuremberg, 26 Nov 2020.
 
Ingrid Alexandra's immediate line continues with the 2 females from her 3rd litter born 27 June 2010: Roza and Zaria.
Roza has had 2 litters at Debrecen:
21 April 2017 (1.0 Darius)
25 Aug 2017 (0.2 Dana & Daria).
Darius was being hand-reared, which is why Roza had 2 litters in 2017.
Zaria has had one litter at Orsa:
17 January 2018 (1.1 - sadly, I do not know if these 2 have names).

A young tigress from the Hodonín Zoo headed to the UK

A young Amur tigress, one of quadruplets born at Hodonín Zoo, headed to a zoo in the UK on Wednesday. Only her parents remained at Hodonín zoo, said Marie Blahová, spokeswoman for the zoo. Three young males from the same litter left last year.

The tiger quadruplets were born at Hodonín Zoo at the beginning of June 2017. Three of them were males, and last December they went to the Belgian zoo Pairi Daiza. On Wednesday morning, the female also set out on a 1,700-kilometer journey following the decision of the breeding coordinator. Her new home will be Marwell Zoo in the UK. "Originally, it was considered to place her at Plzeň Zoo, but it was decided otherwise and in the end another tigress from England traveled to Plzeň Zoo by the same transport company, but in the opposite direction," said zoologist Lenka Štursová.

This refers to VALENTINA born 6 June 2017 (IGOR x RAJA) at Hodonin. I have been trying to find out the identity of the female leaving a UK zoo to go to Plzen. I think the most likely candidate is TATANA from Colchester, as I understand they were hoping to move her before the end of this year. Can anyone confirm this?

Zoo Wuppertal:
Male Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) "Manschu" was put to sleep on the 25th of April due to a kidney disaese. He was born on the 16th of December 2004 in Zoo Schwerin, he and his brother "Wassja" arrived at the Zoo Wuppertal in 2007. The female Mymoza arrived in the same year from Moskwa Zoo. Zoo Wuppertal now has 2 Amur tigers left, male Wassja and female Mymoza.

Ulysses, he was first paired with Reyka, later with Boonya.
Ulysses and Reyka's son Rex was there untill quite recently, but was never paired with Boonya because they didn't get along.
Now that Rex has passed away there is room for a new male and hopefully cubs.
