Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before [in fact, it has, but many years ago]... My daughter is very interested in everything Black Panther and so we are trying to find out if we can see any in any UK zoo? Old info suggests just 5 places, but I wondered how relevant that was after all this time. TIA
5 places is about right, adding Wingham and Lincolnshire to the two previously mentioned, as well as WHF(?) in Kent
Drayton Manor I believe did reveal designs for a new black leopard enclosure, much larger than their previous one which does indeed hold red pandas that came from Longleat a couple years ago. I don’t know where their black leopard went, but I believe it’ll return in the near future.
According to their website they have 3 Amur, 2 Persian and 1 'African' Leopard, I suppose the 'African' could be melanistic. Also have a Puma and a Serval.
