Zoo Jihlava announced birth of unspecifed number of cubs. It´s first breeding of pair Dandys/Cinta. Zoo doesn´t know the exact number because they dont want to disturb Cinta and there is no camera in the breeding den.

Great news, thank you. And, , , , Happy 5th birthday, Cinta!
I hope she has a nice day with her newborn cub(s).
Jihlava Cinta was born March 28th 2013 at Jihlava. Her mother is Suma, father is Dastin.

The past weekend a friend told me Terra Natura Benidorm don't have Sumatran tigers any more.
In it's former enclosure we can see clouded leopards. Any of you have moreinformation about these animals?
Many thanks in advance.

They originally had two females from Dortmund in 2004. Bahagia and Bagira. Bahagia was transferred to Edinburgh in 2011. The remaining sister (Bagira) was later joined by a male from Rotterdam called Vanni. Unfortunately it wasn't successful and he killed her during a failed introduction..... He transferred from Benidorm to Frankfurt in Spring 2017
 
Sad to read about that. In any case, many thanks for the information Nisha.
 
Some recent updates

The twins at Jihlava are both female. Now called Mau and Surya

Twycross and Amiens will both receive Sumatran Tigers within the next 12 months
 
The other female from Rhiene will go to Howletts (apparently)

The last male at Rhiene was Kabus's father, Batu. He arrived from Chessington in 2008 and stayed until his transfer to Aalborg in 2013.
 
Paignton are still on lockdown due to TB restrictions. No Mammals (human's exempt) are allowed in or out of the site under any circumstances until the restrictions are lifted. That could potentially take years.
So they couldn't have accepted her even if they were offered her.
 
Yes, I think one of the sisters will go to Howletts, they announced that they will receive a female from Germany.
Is Lucu also still in Paignton because of those TB restrictions?
 
Tierpark Berlin have announced the birth of 2.2 cubs. Born on the 4th August. These are the first (surviving) Sumatran Tigers born at Tierpark in 15 years. Not only that but both parents (Mayang and Harfan) were imported from Taman Safari in 2013 and are new founders/bloodlines to the EEP. Themselves having been born to wild caught parents

I don't think that I'd be going too far as to call these cubs the single most important birth of the Sumatran Tiger EEP in over 30 years

Gestreifte Hoffnung
