The 'Leopard Valley' enclosure in the walk-around bit is now home to Amur Leopards. I understand that the 'African' (zoo hybrid, really) Leopard is in the holding pen within the main African Reserve, so theoretically on show, but I haven't seen it since it moved out of the 'Valley'.
 
That holding pen also has a pair (at least) of african wild dog, (which i've seen in there, but i have yet to see the leopard in the holfing pen, I think they are in the pen on a rotational basis). The leopard enclosure (leopard valley) is utterly disgraceful. It is basically a small glass box which offers aboslutley nothing to the leopards.
 
The enclosure in the reserve is rotated between the zoomix leopard and 3 hand reared hunting dogs, although the leopard is/was pretty old, so I don't know if she's still around.
