    If I remember correctly, a disease killed the young ones and as such Europe never had a stable population (could be wrong but I'm sure it was because of a disease).Thankfully, Magdeburg and a few other zoos are planning to import them, although it's been quite some months we haven't heard any news...

    Thanks for answer. That makes sence. I have heard about a similar problems with pallas cats, even if that didn't kill all of them in Europe. Exciting that thye are planning to import them!
