Скачать или смотреть On the trail of the 'Exmoor Beast'

The trail of the 'Exmoor Beast' recently led Discover Animals' videographer Geoff Moore to a zoo that was not quite the most westerly in the UK.

Danny Reynolds was on hand to show him around Exmoor Zoo in Devon, located within dense vegetation high on the hills of Exmoor near to Bratton Flemming. Some 130 species can be seen here along with the 'Beast' itself.

Although called the 'Beast',  the creature has never roamed over the heather moorland of Exmoor and came to the attraction via a French zoo. It is actually a black leopard whose natural home would be India or Thailand but who now finds himself very much the star attraction. With his silky dark coat and sinuous movements, he is a beautiful creature very much needing to be saved.
