The mussurana breeding attempts have been fruitless, but also not as dangerous as I was concerned that they might be.



There was "posturing" by the female and "marking" by the male, but neither was really very interested in breeding yet, or at least neither one knew what to do. The best thing about it was there was no aggression.



The male weighs in at 1370 grams and the female at 1250. I'm thinking they could stand another year of growth anyway. They might just not care much for each other. Who knows.



Keeping fingers crossed.

>>Hi Doug, I was curious how your Mussurana project is coming along. How large are yours now? How are the breeding trials coming along? Thanks for sharing, Vic
