April 2014. This exhibit is one of the old exhibits of the former Dog and Cat Canyon that is slated for demolition to make way for the new Africa Rocks exhibit complex. Southern ratel don't care.

Seeing the ratel was a highlight of my visit in June. Too bad it was in this tiny exhibit.
 
They still have Ratel ? I thought, the Zoo has stopped keeping them and send the last three Animals to cologne Zoo two years ago ? Or was that just to make room for new, younger animals ?

Ps.The ratel exhibit at Tierpark Berlin is much smaller-Honey badgers shouldn't be kept in such small cages-Howletts does have a good exhibit for them.And, of course, at Berlin, the ratels had or even still have to share their cage with the civets or caracals in swope...
