Leopard Cubs Outdoors
Our visitors could meet the three month old triplets of Amur Leopard for the first time. Together with their mother Khanka they were released to the outside exhibit in the northern part of the zoo.

The first steps of little leopards in the new space were very careful. But the curiosity beat the caution. First the kittens were staying near their mother, but later they went further away.The bravest one of the three young was the female, which ran happily across the area just after few minutes and even climbed high tree trunks. Khanka and her young will reside outdoors on a regular basis from now on.
Amur Leopard cubs were raised by the Prague Zoo after long thirteen years. And for the first time ever we can enjoy triplets of this critically endangered carnivore.
