Summary

The Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 regulates the keeping of certain species of wild animals. These also require a licence.

Animals covered by this legislation include certain wild species of cat, dogs, boar as well as primates and marsupials. A license for hybrid or cross-bred animals may also be required, depending on how far removed the animal is from its wild ancestor.
