Cinta, a 12-year-old Malayan tiger at Dickerson Park Zoo, has died.
Cinta underwent emergency surgery Monday during which a non-removable tumor was discovered, leading to a humane euthanasia decision.
Cinta came to the Dickerson Park Zoo from San Diego Zoo in March 2025 and paired with female tiger, Berisi, for the Species Survival Plan.
