Since when do they have a female tiger here? I know this zoo pretty well and I was only aware of two brothers. Nice shot though!

It could have been a male. I do not frequent this zoo often, I just assumed it was a female because I couldn't see any male organs. I do know that this zoo transferred two males tigers to Palm Beach late last year, but I don't know if they were brothers. But basically I have no idea who this tiger was
EDIT: I did some digging, and yeah it turns out that the two brothers, Angin and Bumi, were transferred to the Palm Beach zoo in December as recommended by the SSP. So I don't know who this tiger is at all now, lol

Well, it may be for the better, because these two brothers were not treated well enough in my mind, they appeared very bored and almost subdued for the last two years. I got some pretty decent shots of them in the first year after they arrived (2012), but then it went downhill pretty quickly. The enclosure is just too small for such animals.
So how did you find out about the transfer, if I may ask?
