South Lakes received another female last weekend - from Haute La Touche, France
On a sadder note - male, Tenang has been PTS at Paignton this week due to suspected kidney problems. He was born at Perth Zoo in September 2000 and arrived at Paignton in December 2002. He is survived by four offspring (2.2) all of which have now bred themselves
Paignton are now left with female, Shakira following the departure of Tenang's previous mate, Banda last Autumn

Have you got a source for this information? - because of a female of the same name as the one at Tierpark (Mayang) turned up at South Lakes last week. Not Chester
Any idea why they have moved her on and split her from the new import male???

Even if she HAS gone to Chester - which I doubt, as it seems far too much of a coincidence - splitting the pair was not the greatest idea in my opinion
though a genetically important animal going to Chester would be infinitely superior to a genetically important animal going to SLWAP........

On one hand I'm relieved (Kirana is not leaving Chester Zoo) but on the other hand I'm angry (potentially the most genetically important Sumatran Tigress in Europe for a decade is being sent to SLWAP I assume to pair with Padang) my heart sinks!

Like Lintworm said - the source of these informations was a newspaper which also wrote that JAMBI is a malayan tiger. So it could be that be there a a lot of failures in these article. SHAKIRA from Berlin moved to Paignton last year, maybe JAMBI just followed her?
The Photo from MAYANG from facebook South Lakes is not MAYANG from Berlin they looks really different! It looks like it's PHUKET (from Haute-Touche) which was transfered on 13. June. Maybe she got a new name.
(sorry for my english)

Senapus - thanks for the correction/update. It seems to have been one big coincidence that Gill received his new female around the same time and changed her name to that of the Tierpark female who was also on the move (he does have a habit of changing names)
Jambi and Shakira being reunited at Paignton would fit however. Giving Paignton a display pair before being assigned new breeding individuals in years to come seems like a sensible plan
Now that just leaves the question - is *the real* Mayang really at Chester or not :s ?

I hope a friend of mine from Berlin could tell me more soon.

Okay, my friend was at Tierpark Berlin today and wrote me that all tigers are still in Berlin. That means MAYANG (the imported female sumatratiger) is still in Berlin and not in South Lakes Wild Animal Park. Her partner HARFAN was in his enclosure too. And JAMBI is also in Berlin, but he is waiting for an transfer.
Other tigers in Tierpark Berlin are:
0.1 AURORA (amurtiger)
1.0 DARIUS (amurtiger)
1.3 cubs of AURORA and DARIUS born 23 April 2015
1.0 TAREK (Malayan Tiger)
0.1 SARAI (Malayan Tiger)
The young amurtigers 1.0 DRAGAN (*07.10.2014 Eberswalde EVA & FESTUS) and 0.1 ALISHA (*10.12.2014 Tierpark Berlin AURORA & DARIUS) are planed to arrive this friday back in Berlin.

It is PHUKET (*14.11.2012 at Parc Zoologique Doué de la Fontaine) from Réserve de la Haute Touche/France... it seems that she is now namend MAYANG.
The other female in South Lake is JANINE from Burgers Zoo. The transfer of a third tigress is planned.
It will be Chester's Kasih - which means Nuri is at Wroclaw

There was indeed another sumatra tiger named KASIH (*18.05.2014 Beauval ASU and JAMBI). The young male tiger was transfered from Beauval to Bioparc Rome.
His brother BATAK was transfered in May und lives now in Fota Wildlife Park/Ireland. They have now: 1.0 Denar, 1.0 Batak and 0.1 Douga - correct?

That's correct re: Fota. They now hold 2.1
Any idea where Terima (the young female) from Beauval is going?
In other news - female, Gemma (Praha2011 Surami X Falco) at Drayton Manor has been renamed Dora.

The article says they hope to breed from them. However given Dua's lack of success so far, I'd be questioning his fertility..
