    What I have been able to find in a lost corner is that they are called Rusbam (M) and Sophie (F). What origins or subspecies / hybrid I do not know ... as yet.

    A young female of North Chinese leopard arrived from Tierpark Cottbus. Parco Faunistico Valcorba is the only italian zoo to host this beautiful subspecies and to participate in the EEP.
    A male will arrive later in the year.

    I want to report to the Zootierliste staff that is reading this topic that this is the topic of Parco Valcorba and not of Parco La Torbiera (because the zootierliste page of North Chinese leopard has been updated wrongly).

    Are the blue cranes a breeding pair?
