The Persian leopard Aman has lived in Stuttgart's Wilhelma since 2012. Now the big cat was euthanized at the old age of 15.
Stuttgart – Persian leopards are rarely found in the wild. Only about 60 of the big cats live in the Caucasus, and there are only about 100 in the zoos. The Persian leopard Aman had lived in the Wilhelma in Stuttgart since 2012. At 15.5 years of age, it was much older than its wild counterparts. As it continued to degrade, the veterinarians of the zoological-botanical garden decided to put the cat to sleep. Particularly sad: at Wilhelma the big cat was supposed to have offspring, but Aman couldn't produce offspring – because he couldn't get along with the females.
BW24 * knows how the Wilhelma leopard Aman is supposed to save his species after his death.
Wilhelma wants to occupy Aman's enclosure with a jaguar tomcat in the future. Taima, a female jaguar, has lived at Wilhelma since 2019. A partner should now be found for them. * BW24 is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
