Amur Tigers in Europe

Are there any plans in regards to a Tigeress moving to Dartmoor Zoo to join Dragan? Dragan has lived solitary since the death of his girlfriend Alisha many months ago. Also are Yuki and Rusty the Tiger juveniles scheduled to depart Longleat. Currently they reside with their Parents Yarna and Red (Amur). It’s been anticipated for a while that they’ll depart Longleat. As shes now the age and Dragan is alone could Yuki join him at Dartmoor Zoo?
 
Recently female Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) Amara gave birth to two young!

Does anybody know which tigers actually live in Dublin? I was there last month and I saw two of them (in a rather smalle enclosure). In my database I have six living there: Akane, Shilka, Tundra, Ussuri/Max, Zarina and Zeya. I can't imagine they really have all six.

Tundra and Ussuri - Alena and Zarina were cubs born in 2019 and have since moved on.

Nice to hear that Woburn can breed tigers again, does anyone know of any other plans to move Makari or Dmitri? If not then what are some potential partners they could breed with or are they well represented ?
 
Some moves:

- Münster received a three year old female tiger (without name yet according to Münster Zoo) from Lisbon about a month ago

- yesterday Nuremberg received 11 years old male Manu from Gelsenkirchen, born in Budapest. He replaces Nikolai, born in Lisbon, who was sent to Sweden as he did not match with female Katinka

- Gelsenkirchen expects a female from Portugal in a couple of weeks, they still have Manu's brother Thrax
 
The 2-year-old Amur tiger Krai from Parco Natura Viva in Italy moved to Dierenpark Amersfoort in the Netherlands today. Here he will live with Angara, the 13-year-old female already living in Dierenpark Amersfoort.

Female without name arrived, born May 2019 in Lisbon, very probably twin sister of the female that arrived in Münster a few months ago.
 
Two Amur tigers arrived at AquaZoo Leeuwarden in the Netherlands at the end of April. AquaZoo has been a new holder for the Amur tiger since this year. The 7-year-old male Vadim came from Sóstó Zoo in Hungary. The 3-year-old female Aïda came from Safaripark Beekse Bergen in the Netherlands. It is the intention that they will have young together in the future. For the first period, both tigers were first allowed to get used to the new enclosures and they could see, hear and smell each other through a fence. After a while, they also swapped enclosures regularly to get used to each other's scent.

Last week, during a visit to AquaZoo, a keeper told me that the two Amur tigers had been put together in the same enclosure that morning. In the afternoon, they were separated again. As far as I know, this was the first time they were together without a fence between them, or at least one of the first times.
 
At Knowsley Safari, 14-year-old Amur tiger female Sinda has died. Sinda sustained fatal injuries during a mixing with the male tiger, Miron, on Saturday 12th November.

He’d been mixed with Sinda successfully on several previous occasions. This introduction, like previous ones, was carefully managed by the expert animal team, taking into account each tiger’s behaviour and following the same rigorous procedures.

Before the mixing, normal positive character traits were seen with no signs of aggression. Due to the speed of the incident, there was unfortunately nothing that could be done to intervene and Sinda died instantly from her injuries.

In Boras Djurpark, 15-year-old tiger Era has died. He was the last Amur tiger at the zoo.

The 11-year-old male Youri has moved from Zoo de La Palmyre to Zoo Zlín-Lesná. That means Zoo de La Palmyre is no longer housing any Amur tigers for the time being. New enclosures will be built in the near future, after which the species will return to the zoo.
