Female black jaguar Ebony at Chester Zoo
2.1 in the rainforest/waterfall side are father/mother and son from Marwell. Pele the melanistic jaguar from the rainforest part indoors is the father, whilst Wanetta is the mother and Coral is the son. Coral has been doctored to prevent inbreeding, and these live as a surplus holding that Marwell had no room for.

Thanks for the update. I knew Marwell's Jags went to Chester and that the black male Pele was one of them and also that they were related, but didn't realise it was still the same set-up now (or that 'Coral' was a male, sounds female!).

No problem :). Coral does sound like it could be a girls name, I wasn't sure until somebody said he was snipped to stop him breeding from his mum.

His name is Coro not Coral...
