Dallas Zoo



A new tiger is on the prowl at the Dallas Zoo.

The zoo welcomed a new Sumatran tiger this month, the third tiger to move to the zoo since February.

The zoo filmed Manis, the 11-year-old tiger, as he explored his one-acre habitat last week. Manis — all 283 pounds of him — prowled through bamboo and rolled around, marking his territory and checking out a watering hole.

Manis came to the zoo from the Kansas City Zoo in November. He spent a month in quarantine and has been acclimating in the tiger building, zoo spokeswoman Laurie Holloway said.

Female Sumatran tiger：

HADIAH: Born Dec. 12, 2006, at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Hadiah is everyone’s sweetheart. As a baby, she was hand-reared by zookeepers after being rejected by her mother at birth. Hadiah has remained very interested in people and will chuff (which is tiger for “you make me happy”), mumble and cheek rub towards them.

At 182 pounds, she’s a very playful and inquisitive cat who loves to swim. Oh, and she’s a smarty-pants, too, picking up new training behaviors like they’re nothing. Basically, if you ever had a tiger BFF, you’d want it to be Hadiah. (To spot Hadiah, look for a distinct white birthmark on her right shoulder.)
