Santa Fe Teaching zoo in Gainesville, if you want to work at a zoo any where in the south it is almost a requirement to go through this zoo program...

An LFS near me has a Serval on display. She's gorgeous! Very interactive too, except during nap time.

the only problem with these cats I can see is getting the permit, along with the high cost of food, the danger for other pets, and then the antivenin you would need to keep around. I know that their toxins are not too powerful to humans but the saliva is closely related to komodos and it can chew that into you fairly quick. At least have a few vials around just incase a kid got bit. A few of them could take down an elephant easy.

lol, wut? Also, it's not that expensive to feed them I would imagine. My dog is on a raw diet and I go through a local co-op.
