As noted by @WhistlingKite24 in the Honolulu Zoo thread, Seattle has moved from Baton Rouge Zoo to Honolulu Zoo.

Anala is still at Animal Kingdom with no word on when she's going to be moved
Hopefully her transfer to Honolulu happens soon! Her intended mate Seattle is getting up there in age and the sooner Anala arrives in Honolulu, the sooner the pair could/will have cubs.
Do you know if DAK still plans on receiving a new breeding male for Sohni? Last I heard, one was supposed to arrive after Anala’s departure but that was quite a while ago so that may no longer be the case.

I doubt they will bring anyone in until Anala is gone. Last I head we are supposed to get Conrad from Kansas City.
As also reported by @Smaggledagle in the Oklahoma City Zoo thread, Lola gave birth to twins on July 2:

The cubs have been sexed as 1.1 after recently receiving their first wellness exam. They’re continuing to do well and both weigh roughly 6 pounds.

That would be Anala from DAK, she is there to breed with the zoo’s new male Seattle. Fingers crossed the pair is successful in producing some cubs soon.
With Anala being transferred out of DAK, that opens up space for DAK to bring a new breeding male (one of the Kansas City brothers) in to breed with Sohni. Hopefully that happens soon with a litter of cubs born there as well.
Nice to have confirmation on which male was going to DAK (although it dosen't really matter genetic wise) - I assume this choice was made predominantly based on personality.
Topeka Zoo has announced that their current Sumatran Tigers will be moving to other zoos in the Fall and they'll be receiving a new breeding pair.

Zayana will of course soon to be transferred to Auckland later this year or early next year. That leaves the other males, Sanjiv and his sons, Badar and Bintang. The San Francisco and National Zoos are still without males.
San Francisco doesn't have any tigers right now, as Leanne passed away in March.
Yeah, they could still possibly acquire one of Topeka's male to form a new pair.
Last I heard, Badar and Bintang will be moving to a new zoo together (so obviously not for breeding). Will be interesting to see where Sanjiv goes, perhaps it will be San Francisco like it has been mentioned. I doubt he’ll go to Smithsonian as Damai is getting up there in age and is very over represented.
Possibly a new breeding pair at Cameron Park with Satu being paired with Maharani?
