I hope Kasana is alright and has become more confident as she grows

[@anthonyg2554]

I do too. However, she is very young and has good parents and is well taken care of by the zoo keepers. She should be fine.

[@maximus0g933]

She has recently become mother to a litter of 2 female cubs!

For those who dont know, 'Jaya' in English mean 'Glorious' and 'Topan' in English mean 'Typhoon'

[@mystyk5896]

"Jaya" means victory or victorious and its originally a sanskrit word (you can google it for reference). The same word has been adapted into many other contemporary languages like tamil, malay, hindi, hebrew, urdu etc. "Topan" is originally an arabic word and it means thyphoon. Its also used in indonesian malay and syrian language as well.

[@anyhendra3923]

@@mystyk5896 yes I know but these tigers are Indonesian, jaya and topan is common names in Indonesia its boys name.

Tigers are a force of nature. Magnificent majestic animals, beautiful and powerful. Ancient man worshipped them as Gods. Their arsenal of tools and weapons makes them the ultimate apex land predator. A powerful, muscular agile body, sensory whiskers, a tremendous sense of smell, excellent vision, day and night. Their coloration and pattern provides camouflage. The ability to move silently sums up the tools. The weapons are incredibly strong forelimbs with giant paws and 2 inch, heavy, recurved needle sharp claws, 1100 pounds of bite force and 2 1/2 inch long fangs and molars that act like bolt cutters. What a beast.

[@balamadras]

There was a habit in India that people who wants to overcome fears and be more confident buy Tiger teeth and wear it as necklace. nowadays it is not possible. Ancient Indian kingdoms (Chola Dynasty who ruled over 1000 yeas) had Tiger as their symbol.

: / FIRSTLY, PREDATORS ARE NOT CREATED BY GOD OUR FATHER! SECONDLY, THIS IS A ZOO! THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING MONEY FOR THE SPECTACLE OF THESE TIGERS. LASTLY, THE TIGERS ARE BEING ABUSED SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A NATURAL SITUATION FOR THEM AND THEY KNOW IT. THEY SHOULD EITHER BE "TAKEN OUT" OR PUT BACK IN THE WILD, WHERE THEY WILL ONLY KILL OTHER NON PREDATOR INNOCENT NON MEAT EATING ANIMALS! : / IN WHICH CASE I THINK THE BEST SOLUTION FOR ALL THE PREDATORS IS TO GIVE BIRTH CONTROL TO ALL YOUNG FEMALES SO THEY ALL CANT REPOPULATE ANYMORE, AND ALLOW THEM TO ALL LIVE ON RESERVATIONS FOR THEIR NATURAL LIVES. BUT ONLY BY SPECIES. SO ALL THE TIGERS WOULD LIVE TOGETHER, ALL THE LIONS WITH THE OTHER LIONS AND SO ON.. FOR ALL THE PREDATOR ANIMALS.. AND THEY CAN BE FED BY THE KEEPERS OF THESE RESERVATIONS FOOD WOULD BE RICE, BEANS, VEGETABLES, FRUITS.. NO MEAT, NO OTHER ANIMALS. AND IF THEY ATTACKED EACH OTHER? THEN THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL DO.. BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE EXPLOITED FOR PROFIT OR ABUSED OR USED.. OR ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO PREDITATE ON ANYONE OR ANYTHING.. THE WORLD DOESNT NEED PREDATORS ( ANIMALS OR PEOPLE! )

Tigers patrols their boundary very often. They cannot sit idle. They need large space.

[@chanlovebaek614]

Tigers are solitary animals, so you can't keep them in the same cage while they're eating. I hope you give the Sumatran tigers plenty of food because they need it. Thank you!

[@user-ie6jr4bg1w]

They should have an enclosure of about 10 km2 for the male and female to be healthy together in the same enclosure.

[@LKauf279]

They usually have multiple “bedrooms” in the back that can be sectioned off into separate rooms. We train our chimps for separating and training and feeding specific meds

i thought male tigers dont nurse the cubs usually. and instead kill them as he sees them as a threat, or is that only in the wild?

[@sclohessy4759]

if the cubs belong to the father, then he won't harm them. rival males kill enemy's cubs because they want their bloodline to be the one kept going. because this group is operating as a group, and fabi is the father, he won't harm his own cubs.

[@Rizal12061986]

sumatran tigers are well known for their family lives (dad mom cub). the cub mostly get out of their parents territory when they are ready to make their own family

[@krislv9219]

@@Rizal12061986 I’m trying to find that piece of information you said..I couldn’t find it in google..(that Sumatran tigers are social and live in family groups) where did you get that piece of information? From my understanding they are solitary animals only coming together for mating.

[@anthonyg2554]

You asked a sincere question. I will answer. In the wild big cats of all species kill the babies of other males. To eliminate any future threats.. They also kill other predators of any species to eliminate competition for food and territory. Other than lions, all big cat males do not live with their mates. This does not mean that they never see them or have any contact. Nature is cruel. It has prevented big cat couples from living together permanently. This does not mean that they would not like to. In the best zoos and sanctuaries males and females of all types of big cats are allowed to live together. Everything from tigers, to leopards to jaguars to snow leopards live happily together. In fact there is a case in a Florida, where a male lion. Cameron and a female tiger Zabu lived the most loving life together for over 17 years. When Cameron died, Zabu was do heart broken, that she did not eat or play. She just sat and cried. She died within one month. These animals are far more intelligent than most people understand or are willing to believe. They also have the capacity to love and grieve.

[@herpderp3916]

@@krislv9219 Tigers are solitary, yeah, but the range of one male will often overlap the range of several females, and when a male encounters one of his mates and their cubs, he'll usually be fairly calm and friendly to them before they part ways again. Sometimes males will even share their kills with females and cubs. So, a wild tiger dad doesn't spend as much time with his kids as, say, a lion dad, but he's still a presence.
