COULD THIS BE LOVE?
Excitement is mounting around Palm Beach Zoo following the impending courtship
of Api, the daughter of their female Malayan tiger Berapi, and the Zoo's male Malayan tiger, Kadar. Api joined the Zoo in January 2018 as part of a cooperative breeding pro- gram with other accredited Zoos around the country. She lives in the Kimelman Tiger River habitat sponsored by Braman Motorcars. The hope is that she and Kadar will fall in
love and start a family of their own.
A recognized leader in Species Survival Plan (SSP) breeding programs for Malayan tigers, the Zoo was last home to tiger cubs in 2011. This was when Berapi gave birth to three male Malayan tiger cubs, Jaya, Bunga, and Penari. Each birth is signi cant as there are fewer than 250 Malayan tigers left in the wild.
"Palm Beach Zoo thanks lead corporate sponsor Braman Motorcars Palm Beach & Jupiter for their multi-year commitment which helped us double the size of the original exhibit, as well as, the amount of behind-the-scenes space for tiger housing. Braman's ongoing support of the health and wellness, education, and daily oper- ations of the three Malayan tigers that call Palm Beach Zoo home, is pivotal in helping the Zoo expand our role as Malayan tiger ambassadors."
Did You Know: Sounds and Communication
Malayan tigers communicate through an array of vocalizations, including chu s, moans, growls, and roars. Scent marking is another prime method of non-visual and non-auditory communication between two tigers. See if you can make out the sounds during your next Zoo visit!
LET THE SAFARI BEGIN
Summer Events a Favorite of Club Braman Members
The Palm Beach Zoo is a favorite for Club Braman members, primarily due to 2 major events held during the summer months; The Food Truck Safari and Roar & Pour!
At the Zoo’s ‘Food Truck Safari’, not only does the en- tire family get to spend a beautiful summer evening listening to live music and looking at all the fabulous animal exhibits, but Club Braman members also get a food and drink voucher that lets you chow down on the best food trucks in Palm Beach County.
At ‘Roar & Pour’ there is always a special tribute band. Some tribute bands in the past have been the Jour- ney Tribute Band “Chain Reaction”, the Rolling Stones Tribute Band “Roll The Stones and The Tom Petty Tribute Band; Petty Hearts.
As always, Club Braman members receive special ex- pedited VIP entry, Zoo tickets and a feast of themed cuisine with soft drinks, cocktails and craft beer from a top local brewery to quench your thirst.
Join Club Braman at the Zoo during Summer 2018!
