How long is the gestation period for Malaysian tigers? That will ease the sadness of locals who don't get to see Mata and Rimba, and give them some new little ones to get excited to visit.

Please keep us informed on anything that is happening with them and if they do become proud daddies. I already miss them and it will be hard not seeing them and watching them anymore. Thank you, Bridget, for letting me know that the boys were out on saturday, I did see them and I did say good-bye to them even if it was sad to do. I will miss them greatly as I know all of you keepers especially will miss them. This is the hardest part for me; as a member who participates in the walks and lectures we find out so much about the animals and become attached to them so when they have to leave our beautiful zoo it is even harder to say good-bye and not see them anymore. Thanks for letting us know about Mata and Rimba. I really hope they do well in Florida.

They were so active, handsome & fun to watch. They attracted quite a crowd & I told several tiger fans that the boys were heading to Florida soon. Thanks for giving us notice of their impending move!

Unfortunately, I have needed to improve on action photography as most of my shots were blurry due to their playtime antics. Yet, those photos captured lots of energy and fun and I know everyone receiving them at their new zoo will enjoy them immensely. I am thankful we were able to benefit from watching the early phase of their lives and wish them all the best as they move and settle in Florida.

They sound like quite a pair, and too much to handle any longer for their mom. They will be well cared for in their new home in Florida, and should adjust well. It will give us Easterners a better chance to see them nearer to us. Now we can look forward to more tiger cubs after their parents are reunited and on exhibit together. It is good to hear that Mek doesn't growl at Awang like she does the cubs. She has two reasons to be glad they are moving on. First she gets her territory back without rambuctious male cubs, and, second, she gets to spend more time with Awang on exhibit. Since he is more mature, hopefully she and he can co-exist more peacefully and get more sleep time.

We have been mixing up the tiger rotation now that Mata and Rimba are separated from Mek. I will plan to have them out on exhibit for you on November 4th from 9:00AM until noon. I'm glad you're coming to say goodbye! Peggy, I’m sorry you haven’t seen the boys in your last couple of visits.

I hope they do well and have many babies in the future. Wish them well for me. Please let us know how they are doing if you hear anything once they are in Florida. I have been coming to the zoo on the weekends and they haven't been out for whatever reason, I want to see them before they go. I will be there on the 4th in the morning. Will they be out? I don't want to miss seeing them one more time. I know all of you especially will miss these wonderful tiger boys, I hope also one day we will have more tiger babies.
