Sumatran Tiger (Hunter)
Hi, I’m Hunter, one of the first Sumatran tigers born here at Australia Zoo, along with my brother Clarence.
I’m an incredibly special tiger as I was born with a congenital eye condition. I developed cataracts at just a few weeks of age so I required specialist care from some of the top surgeons in the world. Despite their best efforts, I lost my eyesight.
Regardless, I am a confident and outgoing tiger, and I have a bond like no other with my loving keepers! I’m a television superstar. You might recognise me from programs like Tigers About the House or Crikey! It’s the Irwins. The audience loves me!
I still require specialised care, but I have an incredible life here at Australia Zoo! I have a pool for swimming, delicious food and a lot of love from my keepers.
In the wild, Sumatran tigers are doing it tough with less than 350 left in the wild. When you adopt me, you help me to tell the world about the plight of the Sumatran tiger.

* Each guest pass is valid for a single day entry only, to be used within 12 months of adoption purchase. For Gold, Platinum and Ultimate adoptions, guest passes can be used for multiple single day entries for one person, or single day entries for up to the specified amount of people. For Gold or Platinum adoptions, if you are unable to use the included guest passes you can opt to swap the guest passes for a plush toy animal.
^ The encounter is subject to availability and must be pre-booked. Restrictions based on age, group size, and specific animals apply. Please note that encounters with some animals are not possible due to health and safety regulations (they include: saltwater crocodiles, tigers, elephants, snakes and iguanas); an alternative animal encounter will be substituted.
Please note: While all of the animals available for adoption are usually on display at the Zoo and/or participate in encounters, adopting an animal does not guarantee the chance of seeing or meeting them if visiting the Zoo. Animal availability is subject to change; there may be times when animals may be temporarily off display due to unforeseen circumstances, such as veterinary check-ups or habitat maintenance. If booking one of our amazing animal encounters to meet your adoptee, please advise staff of the animal you adopt at the time of booking.
Animal adoptions and associated elements are non-refundable, non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.
It is important to note that adopting an animal does not provide a company or organisation license to promote Australia Zoo across their channels. If you desire to include in advertising and/or collateral including your website, further discussions will be required. If interested, please let us know and we can organise a meeting. Thank you again for your support!
*Please allow up to 3 weeks for the delivery of your gift pack, if applicable.
