A loooong new experience

Europe’s longest leopard trail, stretching 160 meters, gives the leopards more room to move—and offers a new way to experience them.

Starting March 18, you can watch the leopards explore their new 160-meter leopard trail at the ZOO.

The trail is an extension of the leopard enclosure and gives the leopards better opportunities to move around and patrol, just as they do in the wild.

With the Leopard Trail, the leopards have a larger area to roam, and you can encounter them in several places: by the Elephant House, by the Sea Lion Enclosure, and by the giant pandas.

The Leopard Trail gives the leopards a larger territory with more vantage points and hiding spots.

Here, they can patrol, investigate new scents and sounds, and use their surroundings in a more varied way, just as they do in the wild.

For those who want to know more

The Leopard Trail has been designed to provide the leopards with greater variety in their daily lives.

As the trail winds its way through the Park, the leopards encounter new smells, sounds and visual stimuli.

When leopards roam or rest

Both are natural behaviours.

Roaming is part of the leopard’s way of patrolling and marking its territory.

Lying still can serve many purposes, such as digesting food, resting, cooling off in the shade, warming up in the sun or keeping an eye on their surroundings.
