North America Amur Leopard Population

Anyone want to help me start a North American Population thread for Amur leopards? They have quickly become one of my favorites! I am not sure how to start one exactly so any suggestions are welcome! Maybe start with listing the ones you know of in your local zoos? Thanks!

 

Here is what I have for this, there are gaps/ questions /and updates I would like to find but this should be a good start for a who is who and where.

 

(M) 12/25/21 Jordan (USA, ND) Roosevelt Park Zoo

(F) 04/21/22 Anya (USA, ND) Roosevelt Park Zoo

(M) 03/18/23 Grover (USA, PA) Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

(F) 03/18/23 Mila (USA, PA) Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

(M) 05/21/10 Kasha (USA, IN) Potawatomi Zoo

 

When did Kasha go to Potawatomi Zoo? They are currently listing the one 2 year old female on their list of animals. Also, awaiting more information on the two cubs born at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo 05/17/23.

 

Thank you for posting your list.

Kasha moved to Potawatomi sometime in April 2023 and was posted on their social media on May 4. Anastasia/Lisa, who you have noted at Potawatomi, is still at Brookfield Zoo. The female named Anastasia at Potawatomi is the one born on 2/10/20 at Greenville Zoo.

Some other additions/changes to note to your list above:

• Mischa, listed at Tanganyika Wildlife Park, is at Panther Ridge Conservation Center in Florida and periodically features in social media posts by that facility.

• Semba, female, birth date 2/4/16, is at Pittsburgh Zoo and is the mother of the 2 cubs born on 3/18/23

• Koshka, listed at Exotic Feline Breeding Compound, moved to Hemker Park & Zoo after EFBC closed in February 2023

• Zeya, listed at Exotic Feline Breeding Compound, moved to Monterey Zoo after EFBC closed in February 2023

• Unknown female born on 6/28/16 listed at Chicago Zoological Society (Brookfield Zoo) is Kira (born at Twycross Zoo in England), who's at Memphis Zoo

• Unknown male at Granby Zoo is named Argoun (born at Mulhouse Zoo in France)

• The female at Bramble Park Zoo is named Freya

• Unknown female born 4/21/14 at Tanganyika Wildlife Park is named Allie. I don't know if she's still at Tanganyika, though. Tiger Haven in Tennessee appears to have 3 Amur leopards named Allie, Ivan and Anya based on the photos of adoptable cats on their website, and it's possible she now lives there.

• Project Survival Cat Haven has 2 Amur leopard sisters, Hannah and Jane, who were born at Tanganyika Wildlife Park on 7/7/13

 

Thank you very much for your very helpful input. I refreshed my list as best I could but have omitted the Leopards listed at Tiger Haven since it is very difficult to pin point the identity of these animals without their biographies.

Since studbooks go several years between posting and animals housed in non SSP facilities often get lost to follow up I find trying to keep track of births, transfers and deaths something worth trying to keep evergreen. Thank you very much again.
Revised List

 

Both cubs at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo are males, awaiting names.

 

The two male cubs at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo have been officially named Basha and Mango.

 

Thanks very much for the update.

Do you happen to know when the leopard first arrived at Philadelphia and I am asking because I can remember when i was younger there was amur leopards at the zoo.

 

It appears the first pair arrived in May of 1998. 1.0 Krepki and 0.1 Katia.

 

Leopards first arrived at the Philadelphia Zoo in the 1870s...

 

Oh okay but would you happen to know the name of the Amur leopard’s that the Philadelphia zoo had in the 2000s.

 

There's your answer, friend.

 

Oh okay I didn’t realize the answer was right in front of me.
