Howletts Wild Animal Park North Chinese Leopards

[ZooFanKarlsruhe]

Can anyone please give me an update about how north chinese leopard "Tingting" is doing at her new home ? Pictures would be great. I just can´t find any information about north chinese leopards living at Howletts Wild Animal Park. Not even their homepage mentions something about this

Hi there
Tingting is settling in well for the moment, but unless keepers take pictures there may not be any up for a while as I think their enclosure is a bit set back from the main path (if I remember correctly!) It can sometimes take a little while for our website to catch up with new species arrivals but rest assured she is settling in to her new home. Hopefully her introduction to the male will go smoothly also!

I saw her, but she was very hard to spot and I almost missed her. She was just watching the public go past from the very back of her exhibit.

2 male North Chinese leopard cubs were born in July, and have been seen in the enclosure, but have now been announced publicly by the zoo.

The male arrived in the summer of 2008 and the female joined him in December 2008. They were put together toward the end of 2009.
