Lion Gorge

Lions live in sub-Saharan Africa, with a small population in India’s Gir Forest. Males dominate the pride but generally, it's the females who hunt to feed them. The size of the male’s mane indicates his strength and virility, but now, even the king of the jungle is classed as vulnerable in the wild.

The Snow Leopard is one of the world's most elusive and solitary animals. They live in harsh mountain environments in countries in Eastern Europe and parts of Asia including India, China and Nepal. Their thick, patterned fur coat keeps them warm and helps them to blend into their rocky habitat.

Zoos around the world, including ours, are fighting to prevent the extinction of the critically endangered Sumatran Tiger. It is the smallest of all tigers, but their size assists them in hunting through the dense, tropical forests of Indonesia. 

Tasmanian Devils are the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world. Devils once lived on mainland Australia, but have been confined to Tasmania since pre-European times. Their screech can sometimes be heard for kilometres and they live in deep burrows. 

Binturong live in pockets of forest in Southeast Asia. This primarily nocturnal mammal has large ears, a thick body, long and shaggy black hair, stiff white whiskers, and a long prehensile tail.

A distant relative of the Indian Wolf, the Dingo arrived in mainland Australia around 5,000 years ago. They're a naturally shy animal with an independent nature. Pack leaders breed once a year and the whole pack helps rear the pups. Dingoes howl at different frequencies to communicate their territory boundaries and pack make-up.
