    Thanks Nisha. I thought it was from another zoo in the UK from how it was written but I couldn't think where had them apart from Chester.

    Although saying that I now remember reading something about Drayton Manor getting a breading pair of Leopards a few years ago. Do you know if this was this successful and is Zuri one of the pair?

    No, they don't. The individual steveuk99 is talking about is the black female Jaguar.

    That's fair enough, don't worry about it.

    They had a female as well (Zilla) but not sure what became of her. If they did breed then it wasn't successful

    Plans have been drawn up for a new £500,000 tropical house, additional facilities for rescued parrots and a new "animal reception, research and rehabilitation centre". Work is expected to start in the Autumn and be completed by next Easter

    Named Pascha and Uganda... they don't actually mention sex at all but from the pictures I believe it is one of each.

    They also appear to be castrated unlike the branding suggests! - So they haven't come from West Mids.

    Wicksteed is not a zoo
    The Ark's facebook commented in the last day that Zuri is fine, so maybe just off show with the lions being there
