Sumatran Tigers in Europe

Perfect additions, thanks a lot. Unfortunately I think I can't edit the overview anymore.

- Aalborg: could be, very intransparent situation over there. If the cubs were of a son/mother relationship we might never hear from them again

- Eskilstuna: great to hear that Tondi finally had offspring, invaluable genes for the EEP. What about Bagus and Wayan? In case of Wayan I did not really believe that he is still in Eskilstuna but I do not have any trace of where he might be gone to (just found that in 2017 they still had Bagus, Wayan and Tornado)

- Jerusalem: yes, I think Ozma is the same as Chana or Hannah. Ozma was her birth name at Ramat Gan. So Jakarta lives alone in Jerusalem right now?

- Cerza/Lisieux has two females then with Zoja and Zuma? And Sosto only has Gio?

Czech Republic

Praha - Surya arrived from Champrepus in December

Denmark

Batu died of old age in 2019. The father of the 2022 litter is his son (name not known) from the 2019 litter. So the cubs are the result of a mother/son mating

United Kingdom

London - Inca (female cub) sadly died in December 2022 due to an accidental injury.

Tamworth - Dua died sometime ago (I think 2021?) They don't have a male at present.

France
La Teste - Jarum is no longer there.

Greece
The only Sumatran Tiger at Attica currently is the male, Rio. Born at Attica in June 2019

Jerusalem
JBZ - Currently houses female, Jakarta (born June 2019) from Attica Zoo.

Spain
Benidorm no longer keep Sumatran Tiger's. The enclosure is used for another cat species

Hope this helps.

I can tell you that these are indeed all Sumatran tigers currently in the Netherlands. At the end of 2021, Burgers' Zoo did move a female Sumatran tiger to La Teste in France, but I don't know the name of that tiger.
 
With all info found in this topic and the excellent work done by Michel L'Huillier on the website Index, I made a pedigree tree off all the Sumatran tigres who are now living in Europe. The file can show all the offspring of an individual or show all the ancestors of an individual. I made it with de genealogy program for humans. If anyone is interested, I can send a gedcom file, which you can import in any genealogy program you like. Just send me a PM.
 
1:0 Denar from Fota Wildlife Park has moved to Cottbus, joining female Surya. This leaves Fota with Mayang and Batak.

Just to add some further information on Fota, they should be receiving a tiger from Heidelberg this year, one of the three born in 2021.

The other two from Heidelberg will leave towards Hungary (certainly Sosto) and France.

An addition to my own list a bit above: Lisbon still has 1.2 Sumatran tigers. Old Pendekar and Sigli as well as one daughter - I suppose it's one from 2013 without stated name.

Do you know what happened to 1:0 Lagarto from the 2009 litter?

I don't have this name. But Lisbon had three attempts that year with 12 cubs but only three of them celebrated the first birthday. Only one still living is Naga/Dragao in Rheine. Aguia did at Howletts last year and a male called Cicak died short before his fourth birthday in Lisbon.

Three times! I wonder why they wanted this pairing to breed so much, considering that both of their sires, Filon and Hermes, were full siblings.

Actually it even started 2008. You could almost set the clock according to the litters, one every four months, five times in a row. Only the ones from July 2009 survived. Given that one followed in November I assume that the cubs were hand reared. I don't know how valuable it was that exactly this pair breeded but in general there was a genetic bottleneck the Sumatran tigers had to go through and it worked pretty well.
 
0:1 Surya (2018) is to move to Zoo La Boissiere du Dore from Jihlava to breed with male Kuasa. I wonder if these means that Suma has died there?
