Sumira was privately owned and willingly released to us after the owner in Kentucky had problems with Sumira escaping his enclosure. Luckily the previous owner had a perimeter fence so Sumira never got too far, but the owner did not want the hassle of getting him back into his enclosure anymore. We have never had a problem with Sumira or any escape attempts since his arrival in 2008. Sumira is an intense tiger that stalks us down the fence line. He loves his in-ground pond and spends a lot of the summer swimming around.
