Yanaba is a tiger with an aggressive personality who prefers to be on her own. She was rescued along with three other tigers in April of 2018. Yanaba is food-motivated and enjoys hanging out on top of her den box to survey her surroundings.


How Yanaba Came to the Sanctuary
Yanaba was rescued along with three other tigers, Kaari, Shira, and Tio, from a facility in the southwestern part of the United States. Due to limited details and the ongoing situation, not much else is known about where the four tigers came from. Kaari passed away in February 2019.

Personality
Yanaba is very set in her ways. She prefers to live alone and not be bothered by anyone or anything unless they have food for her. When Yanaba first came to Carolina Tiger Rescue, she was living with Shira Tiger, but since she is unable to get along with her anymore, the two have been separated. Yanaba, being the tiger she is, prefers to live the solitary life.

Description
Yanaba barely has any ruff around her face. Her whiskers on the left side of her face are crimped. She also has perfectly round ears without any nicks or notches. Yanaba has a sleek dark coat.

Where in Sanctuary
Yanaba Tiger lives in Pine Forest down the path from Madonna Tiger's enclosure. She is away from the tour route, just the way she likes it.

Rescues with Little Information
The four tigers, Shira, Yanaba, Kaari, and Tio, who came from the southwestern part of the United States, came from a sensitive situation and not many details were provided. In some situations, we have lots of information and can plan ahead of time, while others pop up quickly and require discretion. The important thing is these animals now are in their forever home and have nothing to worry about, except when the food truck is coming.
