Oh how I wish they could stay here in California, but it is nice to know that at least the 3 of them will keep each
other company for a while to come untill they are ready to move on with the next step.
Good luck to them in their new digs, and hope to hear updates on them soon.

I am a big fan of your zoo blogs and various activities undertaken. In all the blog entries I have read (over 100 till now), none of them talk about reintroduction strategies and plans. Are they being done and not reported in the blog atall or it’s not happening because of some reason? I would like it if you throw light on it.

Thanks, Kym, sounds like SDZ keepers tender loving care, produced stress-free cubs ready to move to a new life, and potential new mates for a new chapter in their lives. They can now move on to Phase 2 of their role in the conservation of Sumatran tigers.

We are awaiting word of where and when the 22 month old Sumatran Tiger “cubs” at NZP will be moving. Their father has been “retired” from breeding since his genes are well represented in his three litters of cubs. However, his experienced mate is still available for breeding in the future. We also await word on how that will be worked out.
