A local pet store got in 3 of these beauties.
The prices seems fairly cheap as well, they are looking for $220 a piece.
very cool animals

They are beautiful animals. I help take care of one at the zoo. I think they are illegal to own as pets here, or so I've been told.
I've also heard that they can be somewhat aggressive but our is an education animal (used in shows, the zoomobile, etc) and is quite tame. His claws are sharp as hell though! He scratched the piss out of me one day when I was weighing him. He wasn't even trying to...just squirming about.
