Dan,
Thank you for the clarification. It was an assumption on my part as I could only identify the tigers in this photo as Siberian. The others weren't as identifiable. I assumed because they were in a Angkor Wat/Khymer Temple looking exhibit that they were Indian tigers. The exhibit on the left would have been more appropriate "educationally" for Siberian Tigers. What in the world does a toppled temple god head and an abandoned city bus, have to do with Siberian Tigers? What seemed like a fairly decent exhibit, just turned "circusy and spun" all of a sudden.
What did you find out about Tumai? Given your international work with elephants and record keeping, folks are going to assume they can come to you for answers/suggestions.
Regards,
Wade
