Rakan

San Diego Zoo Safari Park - Escondido, California - Rakan the Sumatran tiger was born at Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, DC on 7/11/17 to Damai (Mom) and Sparky (Dad). After he was rejected by his mother, he was brought to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on 9/11/17 to be raised with a slightly younger male Bengal tiger cub, Moka, who was confiscated at the Mexico/U.S. border. Moka has since moved to a sanctuary called Lions, Tigers and Bears in Alpine, California.

 

Rakan's mother, Damai, was born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on 11/13/08 to Delta and Utan.
