Mustelids in captivity

[TeaLovingDave]

Sorry, I meant that most of ZooChaters are familiar with the species on my list and they are not very hard to reach, with some patience in front of the exhibit

In the case of Marbled Polecat, it rather seems that the two at Magdeburg are getting much more visible and showy in their old age - the only hard thing about seeing them when I visited in September was tearing myself away from the exhibit so I could see the rest of the zoo

Not hard to reach, depending on your continent

Touché Looking at your North American zoo list, I have no doubt that you will cross the Atlantic, sooner than later
