tigers

Tamair

Tamair came to Wildlife Heritage Foundation (WHF) from Paradise Wildlife Park, sponsors of WHF. His favourite activity is "sleeping" but he also enjoys trying to capture the attention of any passing guest with a gentle roar! He now lives in the centre of the site and misses very little of what goes on around him, you can tell from the odd flick of an ear or grunt that he is right on top of things!


Ronja

Ronja a female Amur tiger was imported from Zoo Gardens Schwerin, Germany to WHF in 2004. Being a breeding Amur tiger in the European Breeding Programme, it is hoped that she will mate successfully in the and rear her cubs at WHF.


Puna

Puna is a beautiful fascinating Sumatran female tiger. Puna was hand reared at Heidelberg Zoo and when she arrived at WHF wasn´t quite sure how to be a "proper" tiger so to help her on her way she was housed with our resident Bengal Hybrid Tiger "Indy"...


Nias

Nias is a confident bold and striking example of a Sumatran male tiger. He is capturing the eye of our female Sumatran tiger with his charming good looks and mischievous character. Nias loves nothing more than a good game of hide and seek.


Indy

Indy is a wise enchanting Hybrid Bengal tiger who knows all the tricks on how to charm her audience especially when it comes to tip bits on photo shoot days and knowing just how to pose at her best and on cue...


Makari

Male born 19th April 2006 at Linton Zoological Gardens in Cambridgeshire, arrived at WHF October 2007.


Bruno

Born 24th June 1994 in the same UK circus that Indy came from. Bruno is not part of any breeding programme, just happily retired to the Kent countryside with his life long mate Padmini.


Padmini

Born at Sandown Zoo on the Isle of Wright Padmini is one of very few pure bred Bengal tigers in the UK - she is also the oldest cat resident at WHF


Bawa

One of two sons born to Puna and Nias on Sunday 27th July 2008. Bawa is part of a programme to protect the Sumatran tiger - at the moment that has to be in captivity because of reducing space in the wild for this species


Asu

One of two male cubs born to WHF Sumatran tigers Puna and Nias. Part of an international breeding programme Asu is an important addition to the captive population
