    The Wolverine at Norfolk Wildlife Park was quite easy to see, in its round concrete 'pit - the same pit, I think, that earlier held the Sun Bear, which I remembered being called 'Pooh' but is named as 'Bruno' in the following clip

    Thanks TLD. This piece shows an early Norfolk Wildlife Park, with some of the (then Ornamental) Pheasant Trust's enclosures in the background of the eagle and owl clips..

    The only time I saw them, there were three Wolverines. Lovely place, first to be called a 'wildlife park', where I saw my first Palawan Peacock Pheasant, Alpine Chough, Azure-winged Magpie, and goodness knows what else.
