A genetically valuable male as he was wildcaught, but his so-called breeding opportunities were mostly with females that he wasn't likely to breed with. Firstly the one he grew up with(Lomie) and a second desocialised one (Kukee) at Blackpool. Then later at Edinburgh. Then he was sent to Beauval in France where he 'attacked' another female he was put with. He ended his days as a single male at Hodenhagen Safari Park in Germany, having never bred. A sad case indeed.

That is very interesting, thanks Pertinax.
