Overview
- 'Lilly' was selected from more than 1,000 visitor suggestions collected during a February naming drive.
- The female cub was born in early January 2026, with staff saying January 1 is most likely though January 2 remains possible.
- Her parents are Mayang, 15, and Jae Jae, who was recently euthanized after a decline in health.
- Mother and cub are already visible to visitors as their explorations of the indoor enclosure become more frequent.
- The birth continues a line that produced Luise and Lotte in 2022 and Ede and Kuno in 2024, while Sumatran tigers number only about 400 to 600 in the wild.
