I'll be honest: Since the only big cat sanctuary in the country is rather controversial when it comes to the diet of its residents, I actually hope they die. This would maybe incentivise Brazilian zoos to join EEPs if they desire to exhibit any kind of tiger. We are running low on stock and our population is very elderly.

South America would be great for tiger EEPs, but almost all of our current stock is of zoo-mix. Perhaps, the only non generic tigers still around are in Itatiba.

I believe that one of the tigers that were born in Itatiba and sent to Bauru is still alive, but even if that's the case, as you've said, our pure-bred stock is running very low... Hopefully in the future, our zoos will phase-out these generic individuals and try to enter EEP/SSP for Siberian and/or the Sumatran subspecies.

I wasn't aware about the tiger in Bauru.

We're actually running low on tigers of all sorts. Animália is keeping their white ones to themselves, so there is no breeding going on outside Cotia.

and those non generic are certainly siberian tigers.

Do you mean you hope they die soon or do you actually supose that? The "I hate to be negative" part got me confused.

Despite of that, although these guys won't stick around for very long due to their age, I don't believe that they will be dying soon. Zoo SP might have some controversial attitudes about their animals, but I can assure you that they're in very good hands when the subject is veterinary care, so these tigers got a few years to go.

i meant, i actually suppose, because they are pretty old.

Zoo SP now has Ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta)! They are two individuals, who are currently living in the former Southern muriqui exhibit (I wonder where they went...).

I'm quite surprised about this acquisition, as SP is being quite "economic" about the renewing of their collection, so hopefully this means some more really needed changes and new animals for the zoo.

Five Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) chicks have hatched and are being hand-reared. Those are the first offspring of the zoo's breeding pair and the first time the zoo achieved reproduction with the species.
