The former Sunda Pangolin and Common Palm Civet mixed exhibit along the Fishing Cat Trail is undergoing minor landscaping works to house a mix of South American species: Grey-handed Night Monkey (Aotus griseimembra), Brazilian Porcupine (Coendou prehensilis), and Kinkajou (Potos flavus).

The Sunda Pangolins will now be displayed at Leopard Trail with the Small-toothed Palm Civets and Leopard Cats, while the Common Palm Civets are now displayed at the walk-through exhibit along the same trail.
 
Leopard cats mixed with pangolins is certainly a new one, won't that be risky with the pangolin's naturally shy demeanor?
 
@Mr Gharial To quote one of zooish's posts on them "From my experience the pangolins do what they want and are quite oblivious to their neighbours. Activity levels tend to vary among the individual pangolins. I was told by their keepers that some of the pangolins are naturally active during park opening hours while others are active only in the wee hours. The leopard cats however seem fascinated by the pangolins (in a non predatory way)." so we can say the pangolins don't really mind
 
If you were concerned for the pangolins, the latter are larger, heavier and can withstand attacks from tigers and lions. Leopard cats are smaller than house cats, so if anything, the most dangerous animal there is the pangolin...
 
@amur leopard

Wild cats nor pangolins are anywhere near my expertise. I assumed the leopard cat would be similar to a clouded leopard, and the Sunda pangolin similar to a Chinese pangolin.

But it seems like the sizes are as good as reversed
