Amur Leopard Cub at Twycross Zoo

This is one of the 2 Amur Leopard cubs at Twycross Zoo in England.

They are both male and their mother died when they were about 8 weeks old. Their mother was called Izzy and their father is called Diesel. The cubs are called Calvin and Davidoff.

Taken in May 2007.

Where are the cubs now?

One is still at Twycross with the father Diesel but not sure about the 2nd. Once a suitable female can be found either Diesel or the remaining cub will leave the collection.

The second died (i think).

I am I correct in thinking there are Two males at Twycross at the moment? Are there any plans to bring in a female any time soon?

Yes Diesel and 1 of the the two male cubs born in 2007 are both currently at Twycross. As for a female it's up to the studbook co-ordinator but as there's a shortage of females at the moment it doesn't look likely. Either Diesel or his son will have to go before a female can be bought in.
