Welsh Mountain Zoo Leopards

[ZooMania]

Up until a few years back the Welsh Mountain Zoo held Persian Leopards and Black Leopards. there were about 2/3 individuals of each species. They suddenly dissapeared after the arrival of the Snow Leopards who live in their enclosures. Does anyone knows what happened to these Leopards?

I think they just died out as they were very old animals.

Oh right thanks. They were about 5/6 of them so i thought they must have been moved on to another collection.

Well put it this way the Persians had gone before the Black Leopards as i rember them having both enclosures for a while before the Snow Leopards arrived.

Oh right. There was a period of a year or so of me not visiting at all.
