Our female Malayan tiger, Dara, has been recommended by the Malayan Tiger SSP for a breeding match at @littlerockzoo. As she prepares for this important next chapter, Dara has completed all necessary medical evaluations with our veterinary team to ensure she is ready for her move. While we will miss her, we are excited for the role she will play in supporting the Malayan Tiger SSP. Guests are invited to visit Dara one last time April 2–4 in the Tiger Pool habitat to wish her well on her journey.
Our Malayan tigers, Bhatari and Penari, will remain at the Zoo as a breeding pair.
