In the Netherlands we only have a permit to keep exotic mammals with an adult weight of less than 100 kg, in addition we are not allowed to keep lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs and jaguars. Chimpanzees are an exception to this permit and we are allowed to keep them. In our shelter in Spain we are in principle allowed to keep all exotic mammals, but our current accommodations and expertise are not set up for keeping e.g. elephants or giraffes.
