Bakso, a 2-year-old Sumatran tiger at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, is expected to leave the park this fall.

According to World of Walt, Bakso will move to another location to take part in breeding efforts intended to support the critically endangered species. The report did not identify his destination or give a specific departure date.

The move means visitors hoping to see Bakso at Disney’s Animal Kingdom may have a limited window before his planned departure this fall. Animal transfers such as this one are part of conservation programs for the species, rather than permanent additions to a park’s animal collection.
