I don't think I've ever not seen them active at Howletts (or only very rarely) Unlike European Badger which is a notorious no-show being strictly nocturnal, even in captivity.
According to ISIS they're down to just a single male. Hope they can get him a mate; the EAZA population is 7:4, but N America has 3:6. Admittedly none of the EAZA animals (apart from a pair in Sharjah) are listed to subspecific level.

Wow, I didn't realise it was so few . I certainly hope they can find a female as well, it would be a shame to see this species disappear from captivity.
she did die, and i believe her body is still in the burrow somewhere (from roar). I've never seen the ratal at howletts, however, i've seen them very active at edinburgh
That is such a shame the female dies, they were both very active when I last visited Howletts. I also remember seeing him at Edinburgh he kept trying to escape!
