SARMOTI Male Siberian/Bengal Tiger
DOB 1/1/93
Sarmoti is an acronym for Siegfried And Roy, Masters Of The Impossible. Despite
the great name for a working cat, he was retired earlier than all of his buddies
because he doesn't do tricks. He came here at the same time as
Bengali, his brother. While Bengali is very social, playful, and loves
to play pranks on all the keepers, Sarmoti is the more serious of the two. Sarmoti
has developed quite an interest in the operant conditioning program here at
BCR, he loves the attention that it brings to him, but loves the treats even
more.
Tigers are solitary animals who stay together only
when young or when mating. Brothers
will strike out on their own to lay claim to their own territory, sometimes encompassing
400 square miles. Adult brothers will even kill each other over territorial
issues. Tigers are no longer "burning bright" in our world's
most famous tiger preserves. Read what these investigators have discovered HERE.
