I've seen two Raccoon Dog exhibits in the flesh (that I can remember at least, I could have seen others when I was very young I suppose), if this were added to that "list" it would be in second place in order of merit. Actually I suppose I've seen two exhibits at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park as the Raccoon Dogs had been moved this year - three collections then.
How does a place like this get ahold of animals like raccoon dogs, tapir, and meerkats? Are there a lot of surplus animals of these species floating around Europe that anybody can buy and put on display?
