BIG CATS REALLY DO EXIST - RIGHT HERE IN RUTLAND!
This weekend Rutland Falconry and Owl Centre. are allowing a limited number of members of the public to view their collection of rare cats,
The Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) has been classified as critically endangered with a population of approximately only 35 left in the wild.
They are sparsely distributed across Russia, China and possibly, Korea and their population is still in decline threatened by increasing damage to their habitat by deforestation and excessive tree-logging.
They have four Amur leopards at the centre which have been rehomed from various locations around the United Kingdom.
It is their aim to raise funds for the plight of the wild Amur leopard through holding these open days.
Ticket holders will be guided around the enclosures and can find out more about these majestic creatures.
