John Varty & Tiger Canyon

 tigercanyon_sa Tiger Kumba - Meaning: Kumba is the Swahili word for “Roar”. - 6 years old. - Kumba was a new genetic line brought into Tiger Canyon to allow for variability in the existing population. - He is the father to six offspring. Take this with a grain of salt obviously but... tigercanyon_sa @patrickthornqvist Tiger Kumba is estimated to be around 290kg and Tiger Nonyana is at 300kg - they are indeed big boys! Tiger Canyon Private Game Reserve Our tigers made a big splash this weekend! We followed the adult male coalition (Nonyana and Sundarban) and the 3 subadult males from Ussuri’s litter (Malik, Shaka and Jabali) all the way to Seatao’s dam where two of the sub adults proceeded to chase the South African Shelducks and each other around in the water. This playfulness was beautifully captured by our guests Jim Hartwell and Judith Leclerc. We hope that our playful cats brought out your inner child after your visit. Note: It is extremely rare to see so many males at once- what a treat!  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Tiger Canyon Private Game Reserve Tigress Panna recently killed a blue wildebeest which she dragged into the nearby greens to protect from other predators. Her two more confident cubs, Pabla and Nikhil, came first to eat, gazing around bloody-mouthed as they tore from the rump and other soft tissue in order to break the carcass open. The third cub, Corbet Jr, approached the feast cautiously with his characteristic flashing eyes, assessed the situation, and retreated. He later returned and began to tear from the massive bull which weighs around 200 kg. Video credit: Chantelle de Bruin |
