Twycross Zoo

Twycross has the largest collection of primate species of any zoo in the world, outside Japan. It is known for its large collection of chimpanzees and it is the only UK zoo to exhibit all four species of great ape, including the only group of breeding Bonobos. Twycross Zoo also holds a diverse collection of threatened species and other animals. Twycross is home to the rarest big cat in the world, the Amur leopard, with only 30–40 animals left in the wild. They are part of a European endangered species captive breeding programme. As well as these, students can learn at Twycross with a chance to get up close to real life examples of the natural world and be part of a unique learning experience.
