Marwell zoo is home to hundreds of exotic and endangered animals all within a beautiful, landscaped 140-acre park. Marwell‘s first snow leopards were a pair called Vikku and Pavel from the USA, back in 1977. Since then many cubs have been born at Marwell, who eventually went on to different zoos all over the world. Many of these cubs left to start families of their own as part of the Snow leopard EAZA Ex-situ Programme. The enclosure of current snow leopard’s Irina and Indeever (both born in 2008) was designed to simulate the landscape of the mountains that the snow leopards have evolved for. It has steep areas with rocks, cave shelters, narrow ledges and high vantage points to promote the snow leopard’s natural behaviours of climbing and balancing.
