Mind-blown

[Birker2020]

Stumbled across this map of wild animals being legally kept as pets today - had no idea wild animal ownership was this widespread. Savannah cats I somewhat can understand, and some of the data points look like animals in zoos and farms, but others have dumfounded me. What good reason is there for people owning elephants in Carmarthenshire or capuchin monkeys in Milton Keynes?

There's a place that runs alongside the M6 and A5 up in Cannock, Staffs that has two lions and three tigers and its next door to a horse abbatoir. Nice. ☹

Lion tamer banned from using big cats - including three kept near Cannock

Britain’s last lion tamer has been banned from using big cats in his travelling circus.

They were between Blackheath and Farley Green.
I have found some info on them...
Lions on the heath

They are the same ones. Small world.

There are Prezwalski Horses in my council area. I wonder where they are

And near me. I have no idea where though.

How interesting! The closest I can find to me are 4 king Cobras in Stroud. They can stay there too

Just had another look and was pretty stunned at the West Oxfordshire quota! We are on the border. I’m assuming this covers the Cotswold Wildlife park, either that or we have some major collectors in the area.
Sadly there are king cobras closer than Stroud. Wonder how far they can travel escaped…..

When I search our area it says "There are no dangerous animals in this area." They clearly don't know about our resident mini Shetland then do they
