Two endangered cheetahs considered “vulnerable” by conservationists have arrived at a wildlife park in South Yorkshire.

The two wildcats – four-year-old female Darcy and 13-year-old male Brooke – have moved into a newly-developed 10,000 square metre cheetah territory at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster.

The area will be open to visitors from August 18.

Darcy was transported from Fota Wildlife Park in Ireland while Brooke was brought from the Bristol Zoo Project conservation park.
