North American Sumatran Tiger Population

Does anyone know why Eko at Jackson Zoo was never moved out? It just does not make sense that they are holding a mother/son pair. Are his genes of any value?

His mother Sari was born to father Utan and mother Delta at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. At the time, Eko may have been planned but at this point and time Utan x Delta’s line is extremely well and overly represented. He may have some value as his dad Emerson didn’t have any other offspring (for what I know), but at this time their line overly represented.

Thanks for the details, that makes sense. It is still strange that a zoo that is struggling as much as they are chooses to keep two big cats, the resources could go further for their other animals if they would move one out.

Even if they were to transfer him to another facility, I don’t know who would have room for him. I know Louisville Zoo is currently caring for three somewhat elderly Sumatran tigers, including Leela who might be getting closer and closer to that… age. They might possibly be a candidate, or maybe Zoo Miami if they’re not planning on bringing in a new breeding male. The San Antonio Zoo might also be a possibility, they might try to find a new breeding male for Royal Ja’Malle, considering the fact that Jeda has been there for a while and has not yet sired cubs. The Honolulu Zoo, or Smithsonian’s National Zoo might be openings as well. There’s also the small possibility that Eko does get a breeding recommendation for himself in the future. With the successful amount of cubs right now, and imports from Australia, and Eko’s mother Sari being on the older side, it’s quite possible he’ll be staying at Jackson Zoo.

Where and when did Teddy (Princeton), Langka, Utan, Denver, & Larry pass away? Also what about Bali, Malosi, & Java, (does anyone have a photo of George)?

Male Satu has moved from Cameron Park Zoo to Honolulu Zoo and has a breeding recommendation with Anala:

Honolulu Zoo on Instagram: "We are pleased to announce the arrival of Satu, an eight-year-old male Sumatran tiger who was transported to the Honolulu Zoo on Friday evening. Satu was born in Miami, Florida and arrived in Honolulu, having previously lived at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas. “We are very fortunate that the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan was able to identify Satu as a genetically suitable match for Anala, our female tiger, as getting the right fit is always a challenge,” said Linda Santos, the director of the Honolulu Zoo. “We are thrilled to welcome Satu and hope he and Anala will become a compatible pair.” Satu weighs 229 pounds, loves training, and enjoys enrichment activities, especially toys. He is required by Hawaiʻi law to quarantine for four months and will remain in a separate habitat adjacent to Anala’s during this period. Satu and Anala can be seen daily in their habitats near the Honolulu Zoo’s Kapahulu Market. The Sumatran tiger is one of the smallest species of tigers in the world and is the only surviving tiger population in the Sunda Islands, where the Bali and Javan tigers have gone extinct. They are noted for their heavy black stripes on their orange coat, are generally shy, and tend to avoid people in the wild. Poaching is one of their main threats to survival, and the expansion of oil palm and acacia plantations has taken over much of their natural habitat. The International Union for Conservation of Nature-Red List has the Sumatran tiger listed as critically endangered, with no more than 400 individuals believed to be remaining in its total population. The Honolulu Zoo’s Aloha ‘Aina Conservation Fund has provided longtime support for the conservation efforts of Sumatran tigers in the wild through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan-Tiger Conservation Campaign. #newarrival #sumatrantiger #satu @cpzoo @zoos_aquariums #honoluluzoo #honolulu #hawaii"

If I remember correctly did they attempt AI on Anala?
