I'm not sure, how long they've had the Amurs. They're two brothers though.
And yes, the hybrid Leopard alternates with 3 hand reared hunting dogs in the netted enclosure in the main African reserve.

Yes, I've heard many times how lions make cheetahs nervous. What do you think of Whipsnade's new layout- are the Cheetahs far enough away from the lions do you think?.

My last visit to Whipsnade predates the lions, let alone the cheetahs. So I don't know. If they are next to each other than I would say they are too close. Then I would take into account exhibit topography and whether there is direct view. Far better to have them well away.

The Hyena story is not a rumour it was told to the Bartlett Society Northern Groups members by one of the senior members of staff when we visited the collection earlier in the year.As for the Hybrid Peopard it has been moved back out to tha enclosure in the middle of the Arrica reserve and is not down with the Amurs.

If this rumour of hyaenas going to Knowsley, then I would be a little surprised (didn't hear of anything when I was there in June). There isn't anywhere logical that they would go without eating into another exhibit in a large way. Mind you the hunting dogs and tigers don't have particularly large exhibits for a drive-through safari.

Well their was at least 12 other people hear it as we were getting a talk on Knowsleys history and its future plans and the Hyenas were mentioned then.

Thanks Ashley

And sending there Hybrid leopard to knowsley would meanthey would not have the big 5
 
Who mentioned they're sending her to Knowsley?
I don't think they would as she's quite old.
 
The leopard at WMSP ISN'T moving to Knowsley, I only said it as a suggestion that it would be nice if she did go to Knowsley as a new carnivore species. Sorry if i've caused confusion.

They are on opposite sides of the road, probably the paddocks are a couple of hundred yards apart. Seems a bit close to me.
