Hope for the Malayan tiger: Breeding and rewilding 'Panthera tigris jacksoni'

Hetty, born in Malacca Zoo, is one of the 22 tigers at the National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Sungkai, Perak, where a national breeding and rewilding programme for Malaysian tigers is taking place. — LOW LAY PHON/The Star

Hetty, according to her guardian, doesn’t like males.

Pacing restlessly up and down her small chamber, she occasionally tries to catch a sniff of the scent from the visitors who have come up the path to her block.
