One of the two tiger exhibits featured in the Tiger Temple. Each holds a male and a female tiger. The zoo also has a white tiger exhibit, separate from the temple.

Is this the Sumatran Tiger exhibit or the Amur Tiger one? I believe Lisbon hold Amur, Sumatran and White Tigers. Do Lisbon still have 2.1? The breeding pair were 'Pendaker' (Ex Dudley) and Sigli (?) they had 1.2 cubs and the two females are now in Germany (Rheine?).
I believe it is the Sumatran Tiger, but the Amur Tiger exhibit is very similar. When I was in the zoo they had 1.1 in exhibit for both the Sumatran and the Amur tigers, but the white tiger in exhibit was the female with her 2 cubs (I think they were supposed to be 3, but I only saw two). Unfortunately ISIS seems to be down right down and I can't check.
This is the Sumatran tiger enclosure. At the moment the male and the female rotate, this means that only one of them is visiable at the time.
IF i'm not mistaken, we generally get to see the male.
On the other side of the Tiger Temple its the Amur tiger enclosure, where several (1.2?) Amur Tiger share the enclosure.
The White tigers (should we call them bengals?) live on another side of the zoo and also there, the male and the female are kept separeted.
BTW, does anyone knows if the Sumatran remaining cub have already been transfered?
I don't know about the situation right now but this photo was taken at the end of last year. There were two tigers on each enclosure, according to a keeper a male and a female. Both the Amur and Sumatran enclosures are in the temple, separated by an interpretative hall. The white tiger is not far from there, but on a very different enclosure and at the time the white tiger cubs and their mother were on exhibit.
I'm sorry if my previous post was not clear. Reading it now it does seem like the tigers are all on the same exhibit, which, as you pointed out, is not true.
