Good for her!
A tiger that would rather play than mate is taking her heart to San Francisco.
Shasta, a 10-year-old Siberian tiger at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo for the last seven years, is moving in June to the San Francisco Zoo to be a display animal.
The Omaha zoo has an internationally recognized big-cat breeding and genetics program but it didn’t work for Shasta, said Dan Cassidy, the zoo’s general curator.
The 295-pound Shasta rejected all attempts by male tigers at romance. She never had a litter.
“She’d want to play when he would want to breed,” Cassidy said. “Things didn’t work out.”
Yeah, wonder why….
