I know Anastasia, his mother, was sent to Erie Zoo. I don't know where Robeki went. The parents eventually left the zoo when their cubs got older to make room for the 3 growing cubs. Viktor left for Detroit first in November 2008, and is back in Bridgeport. Koshka, one of his sisters, left for Denver Zoo in December 2008 and is still there. Nikka, his other sister, left for Potter Park Zoo in March 2009, and is still there. Both Koshka and Nikka have had cubs. In late 2008, a male tiger by the name of Booskin arrived at Beardsley Zoo from Detroit, and in spring 2009, Naka came from Rosamond Gifford Zoo. They didn't have cubs, so Booskin went to Racine Zoo in late 2011, and then Viktor came back.
