Does anybody know where the Tigers that were at the zoo before Kirana have gone too? Also does anybody know what happened to the cubs that were born the same time as Asoka?
 
Which tigers are you on about?

I gather Kepala is still there, They had two benegals which went back to west midlands and before that they had a male Amur Tiger who passed away.
 
from what the presenter said on sunday there is only one tiger there now the female they got from paigton
 
as there are no plans to get a new female lion in to breed with Asoka and Asha has been implanted this year were not going to have any cubs this year :( Also does anybody know anything about the servals?

Kepala was moved to Dublin, i believe it was because him and Kirana were closely related.

Thanks Zoomania, I knew they were planing on moving him but didn't realise (or had forgotten) they had already moved him.

They are 2 young males that were born at Suffolk Wildlife Park.
 
There is a new male tiger called Fabi. We went to the zoo on Friday and it was his first day out with Kirana. From what we saw they were ignoring each other.

Asoka's sister Masala lives at Santillana Zoo in Spain. They have a brother somewhere in Europe as well :)
 
Naseek, their brother lives in Helsinki Zoo, and has fathered several litters of cubs, most recently 2 males.
