    Linton has two Snow Leopards Lhamo (f) and Centurio (m) who are a breeding pair but have not bred yet. They have an elderly female African Leopard called Lisa who is about 16 now and a young African Leopard who is black called Zoyza (m) who is about 3 or 4,i think they are waiting for a new enclosure to be built before the Africans start breeding again.But the breeding will probably start off again after Lisa has passed away.
    Regards

    Will Zoyza be included in the breeding program?

    Im pretty sure he will be he is an amazing animal but he is very aggressive trying to pair him up with a female could be rather tricky!
