Lucu the Sumatran tiger arrival | Edinburgh Zoo

We are very excited to welcome Lucu the male Sumatran tiger into our care and for visitors to meet him soon.

It will take a couple of days for him to settle in and explore his new home, and we will slowly begin introductions with Dharma in the months to come.

Four-year-old Lucu was born at Paignton Zoo, Devon, in 2016.

Sumatran tigers are critically endangered in the wild and any cubs Lucu and Dharma raise would be a potentially important contribution to the future of the species, which is at risk of extinction due to extensive habitat loss and poaching.

Lucky visitors may be able to spot Lucu in his indoor area over the weekend at Edinburgh Zoo’s Tiger Tracks.
