We will announce the winning name on Friday, October 11 at the Louisville Zoo’s Islands exhibit at 11:30 a.m.
What name do YOU think best describes our little tiger?
Satu: Means “one” in Indonesian. With less than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, every cub is important for the population of this critically endangered species.
Saya Sambal: Honors his dad, “Kami Sambal,” that passed away on August 20, 2024. Kami’s name means “we are spicy sauce” in Indonesian, referring to the wild nature of tigers, which are not domesticated and are often trafficked for the pet trade, leading to significant conservation issues. “Saya Sambal” means “I am spicy sauce.”
Kaji: A combination of both parents’ names, “Kami” and “Jingga.” Their legacy will live on through this cub, contributing to the conservation of Sumatran tigers for future generations.
