A team of zookeepers at Fife Zoo are believed to be the first to treat a South-American mammal with acupuncture.
Ebony the cotimundi arrived at the zoo in 2019 with her brother, who passed away in April 2022. Since then, Ebony's mobility has declined.
Keen to act, zookeepers have been working closely with veterinary experts from the University of Edinburgh to come up with a plan.
