Keeper with Clouded Leopard

Nope, though I cannot complain as Clouded is a much nicer taxon, and I've *never* got better views of a Clouded Leopard than I have at this collection - which considering the elusive nature of the taxon is a damn nice thing.
 
Does anybody know why the park replaced their Amur Leopards with the Clouded Leopard?

Clouded Leopards have been in the collection since 2010, I believe that they tried swapping them over a couple of years ago while the Amur Leopard was still there.

The Amur Leopard was fairly old and was retired to France. So guess that it was the obvious option to put them on show

Like TLD I can't complain either as it's my local zoo and I get to see them on a regular basis.

Nimbus is now in the main enclosure with her sister and Mum and Dad are off show in the enclosure behind with I believe 2 more cubs although I have only seen the 1.

I saw both cubs out together on my visit in February. I backed away as soon as I saw how young they were, so wasn't brave enough to take photos. Your shots are very nice though.
