The three-year-old cubs at Cricket St Thomas are part of an international breeding programme. Only 20 of their kind are now thought to exist in the wild.

The park, which has successfully bred 13 Amur leopards, has had problems re-homing the latest litter because the partner zoos dropped out soon after the cubs were born.

The two males and the female have long outgrown the outdoor enclosures and have to be separated from their parents Thani and Gonam to stop them fighting.

The park's education officer Andy Holden said: "We can't exercise all five outside at the same time because there's not enough space.

"It means they have to alternate and spend half a day inside and half a day outside. It's not ideal, but we have to make the most of the space we have."

Now after three years of searching they've all been found new homes.

The males are going off to Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire on Wednesday and the female is going to live in a Belgian zoo.
