Answer 3

Yes.

They come under the DWA (Dangerous Wild Animals) mandate that requires certain animal owners to meet the criteria for a licence. This ranges from the ability to cofidentally explain the history, habits and required care for the animal - importantly including the creation scenario actions and implications in addition to preparation for animals creating a suitable emulative habitat to stringent rules and requirements.

Full details can be found by contacting your local authority, however, an animal of this complexity is not your standard house hold pet. It is not an animal that is accustomed to captivity and neither should the animal be brought in to an environment where this is replicated. Only care for this animal if you can produce a habitat likened to their natural one with the climate and diet that can however intergrate with human interaction.
