Amur Leopards in Europe

The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent has set up a webcam in a nest box for it's female amur leopard.

Fingers crossed this could be the first litter for Leia (born 2017 at Thrigby Hall to Korea & Skodje). And Luka (born 2019 at Colchester to Esra & Crispin).
 
8-year-old male Igor moved to EcoZonia from Bjørneparken in June. He now forms a pair with female Zyra there.

The 7-year-old male Akeno moved from Zoo Olomouc to Zoo de La Boissière du Doré in April. He will later be joined here by 6-year-old female Katya from Highland Wildlife Park.

4-year-old female Lena is moving from Colchester Zoo to Dartmoor Zoo later this month. She will be paired with male Freddo who arrived at Dartmoor last year.

A young leopard is born to mother Suyiana in Parc Animalier d'Auvergne. The sexof the young is still unknown. (Instagram) I suppose the father is Baruto.

Hello, I am currently researching Amur leopards in the UK and across Europe. Did you get any information about these two boys? I know one of them moved to The Wildlife Heritage Foundation, now The Big Cat Sanctuary, in 2008 and then onto West Midlands Safari Park a few months later. I believe their names were changed to Sergei and Igor once they arrived at Tayto Park in 2011. But what happened to his brother before he arrived at Tayto, who were their parents and did they have any siblings? Any information would be gratefully received. Thank you
 
Zoo Olomouc:

Female Izabela (22 years old) died in September this year.

A new female (3,5 years old) arrived from Zoo de Granby (Canada) few days ago.

I did some research and the new female in Olomouc is called Zima and was born to Baiko and Hope. Hope was born in Helsinki in 2015.
 
As part of the breeding program, Amur leopard male Kitan has been moved to Zoo Leipzig. The nineteen-year-old female Vatne continues to live out her old age in Blijdorp (instagram Diergaarde Blijdorp).

Does anyone know if the males Xembalo and Checco are still at Leipzig?
 
Is there an Amur leopard in Bellewaerde called Darla? The only Darla I know of is Negus and Nina’s daughter who was paired with Freddi (Freddy) and was born in 2004. could it be that the female in Bellewaerde has been renamed?

The female amur leopard in Bellewaerde is called Vlada. She is a daughter of Freddi and Darla.

Darla still lives in Tallinn Zoo.

That’s what I thought and had on the family tree. Just that Rutland website says Argun has gone to Bellewaerde for a recommendation with Darla. We thought it was Vlada as originally Luka was recommended to Xizi but then Xizi came out to the breeding program so the pairing of Argun and Vlada made sense.

Argun being Xizi and Artur’s son and Vlada being Luka’s granny via Ersa.
 
I tried to list all the amur leopards currently living in Europe. Please let me know if I got something wrong or if you have any additions. I would love to learn more :)
