Posted 28 May 2026 in Edinburgh Zoo
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed Sialang, a Critically Endangered Sumatran tiger, as part of a European breeding programme to help save one of the world’s rarest tiger subspecies. The nine-year-old tiger moved to the capital from Twycross Zoo and is settling into his new home well.
Keepers at the wildlife conservation charity hope Sialang will have cubs with visitor-favourite, Dharma. The pair will slowly be introduced to each other in the coming months.
