Sad news at the park

As mentioned in a previous blog post, Hara, the 18 month old snow leopard cub, born at the Park left to go to the Kittenberger Zoological Gardens in Hungary yesterday where she will be paired with a male who is joining her from Poland.

Here is the article from the local paper.

Hopefully it’ll all go well. Although it's for a great reason, it's really sad to see her go, and I'm sorry that I didn't get to see her and take some final pictures at the weekend.

I also just read some incredibly sad news, which because of my absence from the zoo over Christmas I wasn’t aware of until I went on the zoo’s website moments ago.

Apparently Thabo, the park’s beautiful male white lion passed away on 20^th December. Truly a major loss.
