Update on their facebook page- "Mum and cub are still in the nursery enclosure at the back, cub is getting bigger now so may venture further very soon."

Look forward to it...

Will be posted tonight! Sorry about it taking a while.

Sorry for everyone waiting for a review, i want it to be a full in-depth review and not be rushed, for that reason, i’m unable to do it tonight. I will try and find some time this week to do it, even if i have to write it up over a couple of periods of time.

Has anyone got more recent photos of the maned wolf “pups”?

I wonder what collections they will go to when they have to leave mum and dad.

I haven't visited the park since they acquired cheetahs, is their enclosure worth a visit or should I wait till the next one?

Worth a visit but probably would hold off a week or 2 until the make cheetah is also on show.

 

[DonnyMax]

Male Cheetah Brooke is now very much on display in his main enclosure as of this morning.

 

[DonnyMax]

No not yet

Also just heard from a keeper that the leopard cub will be let out today!

First day out in male enclosure

Sorry for spamming but back home and able to post this now of the male cheetah out and about.

Oh great I'll try and get down to Doncaster soon! Cheers @DonnyMax

Does anyone have any photos of the whole enclosure just to get a look at how it is?

Here's some I took on opening day. There are 3 enclosures, large male area for a group, single female enclosure and a 2nd larger female enclosure for potential cubs.
Was told the male enclosure alone is 6,000 m² so massive and whole exhibit way too large to capture in one shot.

Thanks@DonnyMax Looks fantastic! YWP have done it again!!! I wonder what the next animal is? Hopefully we'll get african elephants soon. I reckon they'll do andean bears at some point.

I think some kind of bear, either sun bear or andean bear, i think in between the cheetah and maned wolf will be another area with animals like sun bear, malayan tapir, orangutan, and maybe a small walkthrough aiviary to make up a malaysian themed area.

New cheetahs looks spacious … but also quite empty.
But maybe it is cheetahs like it empty…

 

[ZooTripper365]

Yeah they need to add some primates. I reckon the zoo will add wolves at some point aswell. They do really well with carnivores. @Willem123
