Chester Zoo Lion Cubs

O right I thought the first litter born at chester to jake and Chandani where 3 boys if thats the case and Rajah is Chandra I am missing one of the boys:

I currently have
Rajah
Candra
Subu

If they are the same lion who am i missing
 
Bellamy (m) was born at London Zoo in 1993. He went to Twycross before going to Rome in 2001 and dying there in 2007. He didn't have any cubs whilst in Rome.
 
No i ment in the litter that was born at chester zoo in 1994 was three boys:

If bellamy was born at London he cannot have been in the same litter as Subu and chandra.

The third male i had in the litter born at chester was rajah but if he is the same lion as chandra there must be another lion.
 
I think you need to ask Chester Zoo about this query, as we only have names for certain lions from certain litters. There is only limited info on the litters we know about, sexes etc. The remaining male from 1994 went to somewhere in Europe, and is most likely dead now anyway. Not all names of the lions born at Chester where publicised anyway.
 
Sorry should have added a quote there. You were asking about the cubs from London earlier so when I remembred him I just added his details to the thread for you.
 
Oh right lol no problem, jsut got comfussed. Do you know anything about the other brother if Chandra and Rajah are the same person.

Thanks

I know nothing sorry :( (before my zoo time!) Again try e-mailing Chester Zoo or the studbook co-ordinator at Twycross. I'm sure either will be happy to help
 
I have still not been able to fiind the names and sexs of the lions that where born at chester zoo in 1996, or where they are now. Any ifomation would be great.

The three male cubs born in 1996 went to the Netherlands in 1997. I don't know to which collections.
 
Only one of the 1996 boys went to the Netherlands and the collection was Rhenen Zoo in Holland.
 
Using the studbook we have now been able to trace all 14 cubs from Chandani and Jake.

Litter one
1994

Rajah (m) moved to Cotswold's Wp and later transfered to Bristol. He was renamed Chandra at Bristol. Moved to Cotswold's in 2008 after Subu died and still resides there today.

Subu (m) moved to Cotswold's Wp with Rajah. Died at Cwp in 2007.

Jade (f) Moved to Moscow Zoo and was still there as of 2006.
