    I have a feeling the same applies to the Pallas Cats now, too.

    Cubs were actually produced at Chessington Zoo in 1988, but they died early on due to noise disturbance.

    Indeed, they got the UK first breeding for wolverine.

    Nanook's post above refers to polar bear, not wolverine, in case that is what confused you.

    It's curious that the HWP has such success breeding carnivores compared to the Edinburgh site (Tigers, Pallas Cat, Wildcats, Red Pandas, Wolves and now Wolverine)

    Perhaps because they don't keep moving their carnivores from enclosure to enclosure, splitting promising pairs up or getting rid of their stock if it's unshowy or too obscure to interest the management ;)
