Sumatran tigers
There are two Sumatran tigers at ZSL London Zoo: Lumpur the male, and Reika the female. Tigers, like domestic cats, love to sleep and it’s not uncommon for ZSL London Zoo's tigers to sleep up to 18 hours a day.
Sumatran tigers originate from Sumatra in Indonesia and are critically endangered in the wild with an estimated 300 wild tigers remaining.
Tiger SOS - join our campaign
Tiger SOS is a campaign to raise money for ZSL’s tiger conservation work in Sumatra as well as developing a state-of-the art Tiger Conservation Headquarters right in the heart of central London.
The tiger is desperately endangered throughout its range and its future is in our hands.
New tiger exhibit
ZSL London Zoo is in the early stages of drawing up plans to develop a new tigers exhibit for our Sumatran tigers.

Exclusive tiger print
ZSL has collaborated with design company Woop Studios to produce an exclusive print to raise money for Tiger SOS. To represent the 300 Sumatran tigers remaining in the wild, there are only 300 copies of the print which will sell for £300 each, £150 of which will go to ZSL.
