On March 18, 2026, Copenhagen Zoo unveiled the Leopard Trail, a 160-meter-long extension of the Amur leopards' habitat. This net-covered pathway winds through various areas of the zoo, including the Elephant House entrance, providing the leopards with additional space to patrol and observe their surroundings, mirroring their natural behaviors.
The Leopard Trail was designed to offer the leopards a larger territory with more lookout points and hiding places, allowing them to patrol, investigate new scents and sounds, and use their surroundings in more varied ways, just as they would in nature.
To engage younger visitors, a Play and Learn route was introduced alongside the Leopard Trail. This interactive area features climbing structures and educational elements, encouraging children to learn about leopard behavior through physical activity.
The Amur leopard is among the most endangered species in the world, with only around 50 individuals remaining in the wild.
