Neron is a melanistic jaguar where 1/10 are naturally found to be black in the wild. Melanism in jaguars is inherited by a dominant gene, which leads to a production of dark melanin in the coat.

Neron's character is quietly confident and he takes everything in his stride but at his own.

Neron first met Keira in December 2019 when they were introduced to share an enclosure.

Neron's markings are particularly stunning and visible, he is a magnificent specimen of a Jaguar.
