Thank you! I suppose based on your jealousy level it's a good thing I have the Atlantic Ocean between us haha! Yea this was taken July 6th, 2010. Not sure when this individual passed away.

Wow I am very lucky indeed then. This little guy (or gal) was the main reason I came to Paradise Wildlife Park (also to photograph Black-tailed Marmoset). It all kinda evens out. The European Mole I was hoping to photograph at British Wildlife Center had passed away a couple weeks before I arrived.
This female was named flower and was hand reared, attempts to breed from her never came of anything unfortunatly.
Thankfully there are still a few pairs kept privately in the UK, however after seeing pictures of these individuals I am sure they are actualy Saharan striped polecat ( Ictonyx libycus ) and not zorrilas.

It is quite gratifying to note that not only has Zorilla finally made a comeback to European public collections, almost exactly seven years after the last one died, but that a) it was @stubeanz who was responsible for this development and b) I have now been fortunate enough to see the species!
