@Sausagefingers are you sure the collection is private? I am only aware of one private collection in Cornwall and its called Wingz. If its a public animal collection that you are reffuring too I would say that the Capybaras are going to Porfell Wildlife Park. I hope this information answers your question.

Those exciting new arrivals could well be the 3 Ringtail offspring from Burgers' Zoo (born 2020), which will be used to create new pairings with the already present (but related) 1.1 animals in Exmoor.
 
E-mail newsletter from Exmoor: Female wolverine has arrived from Scotland with plans for a male to come later this year or next. The 4 smooth coated otters are looking forward to getting into their new ponds. After their oldest Bat eared fox passed away, the studbook holder asked them to take on a new pair, and a male named Viko has arrived. A female is due to arrive in the summer.
 
I visited today. Work is going ahead on the new enclosure shown above, which is next to the yellow-throated martens. The framework is complete and the first mesh panels are in place. The new otter pools are now holding water, probably to cure the lining, and work is underway on indoor quarters on the downhill side.
Work is less advanced on another new enclosure on the site of the old ones for Prevost's squirrels and the armadillo.
I had excellent views of the fanalokas shortly before closing time, but I couldn't spot the new wolverine. Various photos to follow.

I caught a fleeting glimpse of her today! It was a blink and you'll miss it scenario though. She's pretty elusive!
Otters are out too.

Not personally. Sorry. A family member did. But I'm not sure how they'd feel about me posting them tbh.
It looks a little bare at the moment, no vegetation yet. But it's clearly still a work in progress. The pool is great, it flows into their indoor enclosure which is pretty cool. Otters were entertaining obviously.

They've got ratels now. But they're not on public display yet (which I was gutted about, really wanted to see them). They're going into the enclosure the porcupines were in once it's got a new roof.

This was my second visit. It's a great zoo.

I'm not sure how they'd feel about you announcing the animals in the second paragraph either... :eek:

Well they've got a sign up listing new arrivals which includes ratels (and the date they arrived), and a blackboard out front which says "HONEY BADGERS coming soon", and they're included on the map along with their enclosure number, and signage on the enclosure, so I imagine it's fine.
