A zoo whose lynx was killed after escaping in 2017 is likely to close after its owners appeared at court with debts of more than £100,000.
Borth Wild Animal Kingdom in Ceredigion was compulsorily wound up and had its assets liquidated at an Insolvency and Companies Court hearing in London.
The owners of the zoo had been allowed extra time to clear their debts.
The court heard HM Revenue & Customs issued the winding up petition against the zoo over unpaid debts of £60,567 dating back from July 2017 - as well an extra £40,000 in further amounts .
