The panther on loan to the Great Bend-Brit Sapugh Zoo has been moved from quarantine to a public display area, Zoo Director Scott Gregory said. The adult male panther, named Phoenix, is on loan from Panthera Research, which is building a refuge in Texas that will eventually become the panther’s permanent home. For now, he can be found in the exhibit area across from the black bears.
