Saya on their website there's a "Fantastic new animal attraction for 2008". Anyone have any idea what it is?

I don't know this collection at all, but I think someone said something about Cheetahs.

They've had them off-show for a while now, so it's about time. Also no other safari park in the UK at least has Cheetahs, though Knowsley and maybe Longleat used to, would cheetahs be a good safari park species though.

If bears can at Woburn, Cheetahs can at WMSP, I believe...

Cheetahs were kept at Windsor in the past and i think a couple of the others they didn`t do to badly but they did i believe get quite stressed by cars at Windsor.

Cheetah's need not neccessarily be an unsuitable species for a safari park setting - they bred at Windsor which was quite an achievement for the time.

Cheetahs at WMSP
Old 05-02-2008

Its just been announced in the press about the new cheetah plains exhibit at WMSP. Apparently it will be two brothers who i think were born at Paradise Park in Hertfordshire (sorry if thats wrong was just a guess). There move was shown on a tv programme called Safari Park that was shown on Central TV, i think its still possible to watch the whole series on the Central TV website. In the programme they did say they may get females in before they opened the exhibit but obviously they haven't or they haven't been given a reccomendation by the breeding programme.
