Safari park director Dmitry Mezentsev said that the leopards will be moved to the park from Sweden and the Czech Republic and that they will live in a huge cage which has an area of more than half a hectare (about 1 ¼ acres).

According to Mezentsev, a two-year-old male leopard from a Czech zoo will be the first to be transported to the park, while a female leopard's arrival is still being negotiated.

Amur and Timur grabbed the headlines on November 26, when it was reported that the tiger had unexpectedly made friends with his prey, a goat, in the Primorsky safari park. Amur can hunt goats and rabbits but this time the predator decided to spare the bold goat.
Their Instagram account already has over 1,900 followers; they have a Facebook page, as well as accounts on the Russian-language social media sites Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki.
Additionally, the Primorye safari park administration announced plans to broadcast the daily life of the tiger and the goat live.
