1.0 Sumatran Tiger from Honolulu (October)

0.0.1 Jaguar also appears to have been born during 2012 (facebook)

26-01-2013

Great news! Any idea when it was born? I will be there in April - I hope it is still small and cute

26-01-2013

Further to my earlier post - there are two cubs, not one

Both male and born 23rd October according to ActuZoo (so they should still be fairly small and cute for you!) There are pictures of them on LPDF's Facebook playing in the recent snow

1.0 Jaguarundi was also born on 3rd November

Unfortunatly deaths in recent months have included Amur Tiger, Tammy and the breeding male Sand Cat (which leaves LPDF with 4.1.0)

Never seen a baby jaguarundi. This trip keeps looking better and better!

The zoo recently sent an 2-year-old male Amur Leopard, Kasha, to the Brookfield Zoo. His genes are unrepresented in the U.S. and the Brookfield will try to breed him with another Amur Leopard that was recently aquired from the Saint Louis Zoo.

3 Weeks Ago

The parc has confirmed the birth of a Temminck's golden cat.

3 Weeks Ago

Do you know which sub-species? tristis again?

3 Weeks Ago

Another tristis birth would be very nice, but as all the individuals of this ssp in Europe bar one of the Edinburgh cats are related, new blood is sorely needed. I think the nominate is doing a little better genepool-wise, but not much better.

2 Weeks Ago

Just got home a little while ago from my trip. Yes, two month old golden cat - very, very cute! Photos forthcoming...

They have also expanded the golden cat area. Where you used to have to turn left because the single golden cat exhibit was a corner, you can now go straight to a dead end path with a side view of the existing exhibit and then two new exhibits. There also appears to be a fourth exhibit off show behind these. The exhibit at the end of the path has a small house with glass viewing and some very nice and extensive signage on both asian and african golden cats.

The park director of felines, Gregory Breton, will be the featured speaker at this year's Feline Conservation Federation convention. Convention will be held in Nashville (USA) in early June. (If any of you are inclined to attend, convention participants will also get a private meet and greet with Nashville Zoo's latest litter of clouded leopard cubs. Too bad I just burned up all my vacation time and money in Europe!).
