Huge news! Our Snow leopard cubs have made their debut appearance into their outdoor enclosure!
Accompanied by doting mum Laila, the boys were given a little taste of the outside world with our Lead Photographer Alma there to witness the first reaction. These beautiful images are what Alma managed to capture from this monumental step for the brothers – aren’t they just gorgeous!

True to character, the lighter smaller cub bounded out of the tunnel leading from their inside den to enthusiastically explore this new space. The darker, bigger sibling stayed close to mum, sitting between her paws or by her side. Both of the brothers did a small amount of exploring together, which we anticipate will continue over the coming days and weeks.

We were also joined by the team from BBC South East Today for the occasion, following which our boys made their TV debut on the evening news segment. To watch this, head over to our YouTube channel.

We hope this important milestone brings you all as much joy as it has for us (and most importantly, the cubs); we’re excited to say that we will shortly be releasing details of how these boys can be adopted – watch this space for more info! 🐾

Baikal recently received a visit from Paradise Wildlife Park Keeper Shirley for a training session. As his primary trainer, Shirley has made regular visits to the sanctuary to ensure Baikal’s training programme continues. In turn, training also provides the opportunity for regular health checks to take place.
Needless to say, Baikal is in tip-top condition!

We’re wishing a huge happy birthday to our special girl Willow as she turns two years old today! 🎈

How do you celebrate such a special girl’s birthday? Why with a birthday bubble bath, of course! Willow wasn’t particularly too fussed by this new curiosity...

This funny, affectionate and intelligent girl was born at Wingham Wildlife Park and is the daughter of our very own male Cheetah, Bajrami. Willow joined our big cat family in November 2017 at four months old and played a starring role in the BBC Two series Big Cats About The House alongside our Director of Big Cats and Conservation Giles Clark.

She has grown into a wonderful little lady who is famous for her incredibly cute constant purring. She is a very relaxed cat around keepers and guests alike, holding a special place in a lot of hearts!
Over the past year, she has started her training programme with Senior Keeper Ricky and is currently developing and finessing her skills constantly, from A to B training to desensitising her for the purpose of health checks, such as jabs, claw checks, blood tests and even tooth and ear checks. Ricky has also tried to listen to her heartbeat with a stethoscope, but can’t hear anything over her enormous purrs!

Willow loves to play and takes part in lots of different play enrichment with the keeping team from chasing anything on a rope to playing with rattle balls; she is even known to run around her enclosure at high speed when she is having a “mad” moment.
Willow adores food and has recently started receiving hand feeds as part of our new Maya and Willow Encounter experience.
As a cheetah, she represents an incredibly unique species of wild cat that is currently listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with fragmented populations in pockets across the African continent - occupying only 9% of their historic range. Willow currently stands as a fantastic ambassador for her wild cousins and in the future we hope she may even contribute to the global breeding programme.

Please join us in wishing Willow a very happy 2nd birthday! 🎉
