Enclosure for Amur leopards at West Midland Safari Park, 13 February 2010

Thought I would e-mail the park about the leopards as I love big cats and was interested to know if they had moved them on and what was now in the glass box this is the reply I recieved ths morning (20-02-2011)

Dear Adrian.
Thank you for your enquiry. The two Amur leopard brothers were moved to an off show enclosure at the end of 2010. They now have a larger inside area than they used to and an outside area where they are not disturbed by the public. It is unfortunate that they are not able to be put on display at the moment to educate the public about this endangered big cat, but the environment in the discovery trail was not ideal for them.
Keepers are monitoring how they settle in their new environment. WMSP is still contributing to research projects the results of which will aid the Amur leopard reintroduction programme. Currently our Ring-tail Lemurs occupy this space until the African Village is ready for them at Easter.

I hope this helps

Im glad to hear they have moved on i just hope their permanent replacements are more suitable

What happened to these two anyway? Did they pass or move to another collection?

@ZooTripper365 They moved to Tayto Park in Ireland, one has since passed away, not sure on the other one as they were born in 2004.

@ZooTripper365 I believe one of them has just celebrated his 20th birthday! He has been renamed Sergei and is still at Emerald Park - was Tayto Park. His brother was renamed Igor.
