I'm not sure, how long they've had the Amurs. They're two brothers though. And yes, the hybrid Leopard alternates with 3 hand reared hunting dogs in the netted enclosure in the main African reserve.

My last visit to Whipsnade predates the lions, let alone the cheetahs. So I don't know. If they are next to each other than I would say they are too close. Then I would take into account exhibit topography and whether there is direct view. Far better to have them well away.
If this rumour of hyaenas going to Knowsley, then I would be a little surprised (didn't hear of anything when I was there in June). There isn't anywhere logical that they would go without eating into another exhibit in a large way. Mind you the hunting dogs and tigers don't have particularly large exhibits for a drive-through safari.
Well their was at least 12 other people hear it as we were getting a talk on Knowsleys history and its future plans and the Hyenas were mentioned then.
The leopard at WMSP ISN'T moving to Knowsley, I only said it as a suggestion that it would be nice if she did go to Knowsley as a new carnivore species. Sorry if i've caused confusion.
They are on opposite sides of the road, probably the paddocks are a couple of hundred yards apart. Seems a bit close to me.
I'd like to get this going again seen as its been over 8 years so how do you rank the safari parks now?
