      Is this now empty? From when it was built (late 80s?), housing originally - I think - meerkats, skunks and dwarf mongooses, I've thought this was a horrid little construction. It's always seemed so out of place at Marwell, and its construction seemed to trigger the decline of the wonderful pure Marwell of old. Just a sort of a carbuncle slapped down, without any thought of how it would blend in with anything around it. And perfect for people to lean over, drop things in, bother the animals - and get bitten too. Really poor design. If it has been decommissioned, then that is tremendous.

      It has indeed; soon it will be demolished, and they plan on building a new enclosure elsewhere in the park.
