Pavan, Europe’s oldest snow leopard, died at 17 at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis after a long illness.
Pavan, the oldest snow leopard in Europe, has died at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis in Cumbria after battling age-related illnesses.
The 13-year resident, who arrived in 2011 and starred in *The Golden Compass*, was a key figure in the European Breeding Programme, fathering three cubs with partner Tara, whose offspring have produced eight grandcubs and three great-grandcubs.
Tara died earlier in 2025.
Pavan’s DNA has been preserved through cryogenic storage to support future conservation, and the zoo honors his lasting impact on snow leopard preservation.
