A new cat in town

Meet Jingga (Jing – ah). This 11-year-old female Sumatran tiger is the Louisville Zoo’s newest addition. She comes to Louisville from the Topeka Zoo in Kansas. Jingga has completed her quarantine and is adjusting to her new spaces well. Her keepers say that she seems to enjoy water a lot, so if guests see a tiger in the streams at Islands it is most likely Jingga. 

Jingga will be on exhibit in the Islands multi-species rotational exhibit in rotation with Leela, another female Sumatran tiger, orangutans, tapirs, siamangs and babirusa.
