Chester Zoo has made a significant addition to its wildlife family by welcoming two 'incredibly playful' snow leopards, marking the first time in its 93-year history that the species has been housed at the facility. This event has been described as a 'huge milestone' in the conservation charity's history. The Animal and Plants Director, Mike Jordan, expressed his excitement about the arrival, highlighting it as a 'really exciting day' for the zoo. The snow leopards are part of a larger initiative, as they will be the first inhabitants of a new Himalayan habitat designed specifically for the species at Chester Zoo.
