    I did not see the actual civets unfortunately (even with a visit after closing hours) but I did see the enclosure they were in and they were signed.

    Really castrated ? Castrated male lions loosing their manes and then they don't look very impressive anymore...

    Berber lions are extinct-what the zoos are keep under the name"Berber lion"are only hybrid-zoolions with possible a small rest of "berber"blood-no more no less.

    I was at the zoo last week; there is a big new (or, to be more accurate, redeveloped) enclosure for the drills, adjacent to the lion house - that is, at the furthest extent to which visitors can walk on foot. I think it may be the old lion enclosure that is now to be occupied by the drills - the lions are in a drive-through area which is, I think, new this year.

    Google translate correctly. Seven drills arrived from Frankfurt: two adult males, two females each one with child – also female, the seventh is youngster male.

    Is this the whole group from Frankfurt, or a splinter one?

    Thank you,Jana. I thought so,becuase the source of that information isn't a trustworthy one, thast why I was asking. So when the Prague young was born,what sex is it and is it, hopefully, parent reared ?

    Perhaps it is the male. The mother of the baby care. Cub from her but does not drink. It is artificial feeding of caregivers.

    I would add: Born on 26th of July. Underweight. Survival chance is rather low.

    The male is from Jihlava zoo. To Jihlava, from Dvur, went old male Pepino.
