Tiger Capital is proud to be a Chairman’s Club “parent” of two
female Sumatran
tiger cubs,
Kali and Indah, born on
June 28th, 2006 and residing at the Toronto Zoo, Toronto Canada.
This is the second litter born to the Zoo’s two adult tigers
Brytne and Rengat. Their first three offspring, born in 2003,
now reside, on loan, at the Dallas Zoo.
Sumatran tigers are currently classified as a critically
endangered species with as few as 400 remaining in the wild.
Experts fear that they will be extinct in 10 years. They are the
smallest (the Siberian tiger is the largest tiger in the world)
and darkest of the tiger species. Cubs are born helpless and
blind after a gestation period of approximately 100 days. They
weigh about 1.4kg and nurse for six months. The cubs are
independent by age two. In the wild you'll find these rare
animals in the tropical rainforests on the Island of Sumatra.
Their life expectancy is approximately fifteen years. In zoos it
is generally longer, up to 18 and sometimes 20 years.
