North-Chinese leopard arrives at Debrecen Zoo
Change language:
A female North Chinese leopard has arrived at the Debrecen Zoo, where the animal was acquainted with her new mate for the first time on Thursday, travelo.hu writes.
The North Chinese leopard is on the verge of extinction due to habitat loss, illegal trade, and poaching – said Gergely Sándor Nagy, manager of Nagyerdei Kultúrpark Nonprofit Ltd. In its natural habitat, the number of leopards is under 500, while in Europe, there are only 39 animals.
The Debrecen Zoo has been contributing to the survival of the species for many years as part of the European Endangered Species Programme. In the last 13 years, four leopard cubs were born in the city’s zoo, Nagy added.

The 4-year-old female called Májuska arrived from the Berlin Zoo at the end of August, and she was introduced to her mate, Szépfiú (‘pretty boy’) this week.
