Amur Tigers in Europe

Almost 2-year-old Amur tiger female Ohana from Korkeasaari Zoo will soon move to Zoo Tallinn. Here, she will be paired with a young male from a Scottish zoo.

Her sister Odeya will remain at Korkeasaari and will eventually be paired there with a genetically suitable mate for her. The current tiger couple, the parents of the two sisters, will not have any more cubs. Their genes are represented enough.
