Discover the amazing animals that call Chester Zoo home
Unlike many other cats, jaguars do not avoid water. In fact, they're pretty good swimmers!
This tiger’s stripes are closer together and its fur darker than other subspecies to allow it to better blend into its rainforest habitat.
Snow leopards use their long tails to wrap around their bodies for added warmth.
The cheetah is nature’s sprinter. Clocking 0-70 mph in just 3 seconds, it’s the fastest land animal on Earth.
Fossas are the LARGEST carnivores in Madagascar. Secretive and cat-like, these predators are well equipped for chasing down lemurs in the forest.
Although these small mammals may look like bears, they’re actually in a genus of their own called Airlurinae.
Unlike African lions, the Asiatic male lions do not tend to live with the females of their pride unless they’re mating or have a large kill.
