CBS Miami July 12, 2021 How do you give a fully-grown Sumatran tiger a fertility test? Very carefully of course, and that's exactly what reproductive specialists did for "Berani," a 13-year-old tiger at Zoo Miami on Friday. Berani was immobilized so that he could receive an examination to evaluate his fertility. Though Berani is the father of N'dari, the zoo's 6-month-old cub who is presently on display and he also successfully sired an offspring in 2015, previous fertility exams indicated a very low sperm count and many of his previous attempts to sire an offspring have been unsuccessful.
