Australia Zoo tiger cubs
Big difference between John Aspinall's tiger program and that at Australia Zoo. Maybe before commenting checking out the manner that they do things would be in order.
There is a better survival rate for cubs in this situation and probably better captive lives than many zoos can provide. They also contribute substantially to tiger conservation.

Kaitlyn has given birth to 1.1 new cubs. Father isn't mentioned but is likely to be Satu (currently on loan from Taronga)

Satu would be the most logical match if these cubs are to have an value to the Australasian breeding programme. Kaitlyn's match with Ramalon seemed foolish, when you consider his line's over representation, however if the intention for that litter was simply for display/conservation ambassador purposes, there's no harm.
If Maneki (2007) is not to be bred, then I'm sure it would be advisable to send her somewhere where she can contribute to the breeding programme. Auckland, Adelaide and Perth Zoo all require the import of a breeding female.
Dreamworld's male, Raja, could also be an option for Maneki's breeding partner. He's only fathered five cubs in the programme (all female) and none have successfully bred.
The cubs go on display tomorrow: Australia Zoo - About Us - Zoo News - Australia Zoo?s newest additions are ready to explore their playpen!
Kaitlyn's two cubs have been named Scout and Delilah. A male cub was born to Maneki (sired by Satu) last week: Australian zoo welcomes three new precious tiger cubs | www.news965.com
Good to see Maneki has finally been bred from!
Can't say I'm wild about most of Australia Zoo's names for their tiger cubs, rhino and giraffe calves. I much prefer names native to the animals country of origin like they do at almost every other zoo.
I really can't stand it when a company sponsors an animal or wins naming rights through an auction and calls it something stupid (Wasn't there once a lion called Holden Commodore?).

He has been named Reggie: Australia Zoo - About Us - Zoo News - Five year-old sponsor names new tiger cub ?Reggie?!
I think they read our comments and took it one step further. They've really outdone themselves with this latest name
