Just a small thread to point out some news from Linton Zoo:
The old original Leopard Enclosure has now be knocked down completely to the delight of the Zoo Director!, This hopefully means development will not be far off however talking to the Director they are still changing the plans quite alot so its still a working progress.
More News with Leopards is that the male Black Leopard Zoyza is hopefully off to Exmoor soon to be paired up with their female Ebony - The decision was made to send him there as he only gets along with a few keepers and gets very aggressive towards others at Linton so if a female was in with him his anger could be released onto her which could be disasterous but hopefully all fingers crossed things go well for him at Exmoor - By the looks of it he will be moving in the next 6 months or so.
The Lion cubs are doing great and were having lots of fun chasing Zuri and Safi around the mounds in their enclosure!
Also the sad news of one of the senior keepers leaving for an Elephant Position at Colchester will take its toll but its all going well at the moment.Linton is very much in a developing mood at the moment and good luck to them!
I hope to visit them very soon and if you have any q's i will be able to find out most things for you.
Kind Regards,
