Kovo and Raj are both still at Assiniboine Park Zoo. Is he a bit older? Perhaps he could be a cub from the previous pair?

The male sent to Cleveland must be Kovo or Raj. One of them was slated to go there. I just don't know which. The SSP just gave studbook numbers and not names for them so there is no way to tell which one is which.

 

[KrissyR]

I have it on the best of authorities that Kovo and Raj are both still very much in Assiniboine. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding and someone said that one of them WILL be going there but their keeper assured me today that she still has both in her care.

I was told he was at least a year old he looks to be a bit older than that though.
