A black jaguar's arrival has been 'carefully orchestrated' to help a breeding programme, a zoo says.

"The union between her and Napo has been carefully orchestrated by carnivore experts... and a programme that's working in partnership to ensure a genetically viable population of jaguars across Europe. "Many of these products are exported to countries such as the UK, and therefore, our shopping habits can have a significant impact on global biodiversity loss," he said.
