It was mentioned a while earlier that Basha left the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I can confirm that the Greenville Zoo was where he was sent to.

Artificial insemination raises hopes for world's rarest big cat

This is a big step forward toward one day introducing genetic diversity into a severely limited wild population. Don’t envision anyway to truly achieve this without artificially inseminating wild females that are in temporary care before reintroduction into the wild though.

The 1.1 Amur leopard cubs born on 8/13/2025 at the Saint Louis Zoo to sire Samson and dam Dorothy (Dot) have been named. Female cub Vasilisa (Vasa for short) is named for the clever and courageous princess from Russian folklore. Male cub Domovoi (pronounced doe-ma-voy) is named for the friendly house spirits of Slavic legend.

0.1 Iona also recently also left Rosamond Gifford Zoo in addition to Rafferty going to Philadelphia.
Rosamond Gifford Zoo on Instagram: "We recently said a bittersweet goodbye to our two Amur leopards, Iona and Rafferty, after they received new breeding recommendations with leopards at other AZA-Accredited facilities. While saying goodbye to a beloved animal is hard, this move will help bolster the critically endangered Amur leopard population. But fear not, guests will be able to spot some new spots in the Zalie and Bob Linn Amur Leopard Woodland habitat soon. Stay tuned for more information! #Syracusezoo #Syracuse #CNY #AmurLeopard #WeAreAZA #OnondagaCounty #OnondagaCountyParks"
