they have 3 bull-enclosures in leipzig, so I don't think it should be a problem

Wow, thats good that there is place like this that house bulls. Sorry to ask such a silly question, but do they also house a herd of females, if so what are there numbers?

No problem, there are zoos that house bachelors only so there is a valid reason for people to think that there are zoos only for bulls, in fact hat is the plna in the future because of the recent amount of male births so not all will be used in the breeding circuit,

From Hamburg there is Saida-1973, to stay long-term and her daughter salvana- 1996 to stay as soon as she falls pregnant, and then she'll be sent back to Hamburg,
And from Vietnam,
Don Chung-1982, Trinh-1982 (Voi nam's mother) and Hoa-1982, and plus the recently passed Rhani,
