Ron

At time of writing, Ron is 10 years old. He is the dominant male at Tiger Canyons.

A magnificent athletic male, he weighs in the region of 210 kg.

Born in the USA, Ron was one of the stars of the film, Living with Tigers.

Ron carries the rare white gene and recently mated with Tigress Shadow, producing 4 cubs from the union.

A superb hunter, Ron has single handedly killed several eland bulls.

Julie

Julie is a 10 year old tigress and full sister to Ron. Tigress Julie is the most experienced hunter at Tiger Canyons. JV has been able to film more than 300 hunts with her on foot.

Tigress Julie recently alowed JV to sit in her den while giving birth to 3 cubs, 1 white and 2 normal.

Shadow

Shadow is a 3,5 year old tigress with a dark coat and perhaps the most beautiful of all the tigers at Tiger Canyons.

After maring with Ron in 2008, she produced on the 9th of January 2009, four normal coloured cubs. Unfortunately she sat on one cub, killing it, but three cubs survived.

One of her surviving cubs was caught in a wire snare but JV was able to free it.
