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.

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