Old Amur Leopard Exhibit

I ponder what will replace the leopards? I sure hope it will be monkeys despite the fact that African Forests exist.

@PossumRoach Unfortunately, the aviary ended up being demolished, and now, only the barriers and sheltered viewing area are all that’s left of this enclosure.

@Sarus Crane I don’t think that the birds ever ended up leaving for Animal Kingdom; and since these were surplus individuals of animals already contained elsewhere. I suspect that they were reintegrated with the other displayed birds.

@Austin the Sengi When did they demolish it? This summer???

@Sarus Crane Indeed, it happened several months ago over the summer. Also, head to post #7 in the Jacksonville Zoo’s 2024 News Thread; where @King of Komodo Dragons mentioned the demolition of the aviary. Just note that they didn’t refer the aviary as the former leopard exhibit.
