A list of dangerous wild animals is set out in the guidance notes available on the DEFRA website.
The keeping of any dangerous wild animal is unlawful unless a licence has been issued by the council. Any person intending to keep such an animal must meet certain requirements before a licence can be issued.
The licence is for a maximum period of 12 months and is renewable on the anniversary of the licence issue date.
An application form should be submitted to Environmental Quality for processing. A fee of £115-00 (yearly) is applicable and a Vets report must be obtained at the applicant's expense.
