Tierpark Berlin Invites Public to Name New Sumatran Tiger Cub

Berliners can submit name ideas through February via the rainforest house box.

Overview

  • Keepers confirmed the cub is female and say limited indoor views are already possible at the Alfred-Brehm-Haus.
  • Name suggestions are accepted until the end of February in an ideas box at the indoor enclosure in the Regenwaldhaus.
  • A jury will choose the winning name, and director Andreas Knieriem prefers a short option with a Berlin connection.
  • The Tierpark is also seeking a sponsor for the cub and invites inquiries by email.
  • The newborn is the latest offspring of Mayang, 15, and Jae Jae, 17, following litters in 2022 and 2024, within a program that has recorded over 150 Sumatran tiger births in Berlin since 1955 for this endangered species.
