Does anyone know the number of clouded leopards currently kept at Howletts? I've seen two on show and one off show but I think there are more off show enclosures.

There are two on show, then there is another exhibit with two females who were awaiting transfer, which is not off show, but is not signed, it's by the primate walk near the dinosaurs.
There is then two females who live together offshow, another male, and another female, so I think it's 8 in total, but it might be 6 if the two females who were awaiting a move abroad have left since I last visited.

Thanks. If you're talking about the enclosure after the european wolves, I've seen a female in there recently. The only on show enclosures are next to the pallas cat and european wolves if I'm not forgetting any.

That's a male that's next to the Wolves. There is another exhibit, past the monkeys and that on the way to the Elephants, near to the Dinosaur section, this exhibit has two females in. However, those were two females due to move abroad for the breeding program and the exhibit isn't signed, so they are sort of off show, but you can see the exhibit if that makes sense.

Yeah that makes more sense since I never saw more than one individual in that enclosure, don't know why I assumed it was a female. I don't think I've ever seen that enclosure, is it after the crested macaques?
 
Zemo and Zala the late Graces cubs are now on show at 6 months old after being hand reared (unsure where abouts in the park as they're only open 3 days)

They are in the old Cheetah enclosure at the front of the house. I'm not sure if they have access to it all the time though, as I know some photographers have said that once or twice they've seen Damian bringing them down the garden to the area. I've not had a chance to visit yet, but that's the area they are in, how much access they have each day, I don't know though.

Well they have full access to the enclosure at all times and spend more time playing around the enclosure without anyone in with them in fact they don’t have a lot of interaction from the family n keepers they are left to be lions and do what they wanna do
