Does anyone know if the 'Maleise' (Malayan) on the sign is indicative of these individuals' origin or is it a standard Dutch name for the species? Most of the Yellow-throated Martens in Europe are the Northern form.

This is a species I saw for the first time in the US, in the 'Polar Bear Plunge' area at San Diego in 1998. Happily, I can now see them an hour's drive from my house (at Twycross) - at least when they come out and play!
If we should believe Zootierliste BestZoo has the northern subspecies Martes flavigula aterrima. Therefor Maleise = Malayan is not the correct name, even not in Dutch !
By the way, Best had the Dutch first-breeding with this ( sub ) species during 2011 !
During my visit earlier this year, they were hidding most of the time in the large tube in their enclosure.
