[Email to Orange County Zoo] TO: oczoo@ocparks.com FROM: lifeisacarnival@BolshoiCircus.ru SUBJECT: Tiger breeding inquiry
Hello,
I would like to get some information and schedule an appointment to speak with someone regarding how I could go about arranging stud services at your facility.
I'm a licensed and registered animal trainer/handler in California and a private owner of a Siberian tigress approximately four years old that is (by my reckoning) due to start the first stages of going into heat. She has yet to begin showing signs of sexual receptiveness - urinating randomly and clawing trees to mark her readiness - so I don't think there is a time constraint at this point.
I would like, if it's feasible, to have her participate in the Species Survival Plan, and hope, after meeting with one of your zookeepers and filling out all the proper forms and so forth, I can bring her in for mating.
I'm including two PDF files that lists her genetic background information and latest veterinary exam/current health status.
