Amber - Legacy Fund

Amber was an extremely vocal tiger and continually surprised us with new sounds. She had the most beautiful way of humming quietly as we walked around her enclosure and groaning as she rolled back and forth in the grass.

Although initially very apprehensive with the arrival of Atlarela, Mtazamaji, and Bina alongside her, she quickly developed a very deep affection for them. Every evening at feeding time, she patiently waited for them to appear and would then greet each one individually. Atlarela was always the first to reach Amber and the two of them loved keeping each other company while waiting for Mtazamaji and Bina to slowly make their way up the hill.

Sadly, as with Or, Amber suddenly became ill and deteriorated rapidly. As it was an emergency, the local veterinarian was called in. Amber was sedated and given a thorough examination. To our horror, the vet informed us that she had advanced cancer of the kidneys and spleen. While under sedation, Amber passed away.

In an amazing display of affection and respect, Atlarela, Mtazamaji, and Bina gave her a royal send-off, befitting of the queen she was… quietly sitting at their fence, witnessing the passing of the Queen of Isindile.
