Luzon giant cloud rat at Zoo Jihlava

Male Luzon giant cloud rat (Phloeomys pallidus) at Zoo Jihlava, August 2008.

Very nice. Public display or behind the scenes? Would You recommend the zoo?

Public display (mixed with tupajas). This zoo is small with some old-fashioned exhibits (monkey-house etc), but it has very familiar athmosphere and actually it is my most favourite little zoo. I would reccomend it.

Thanks. Will visit either Jihlava or Ostrava next...

Jihlava rocks! Didn't see the cloud rats, though...Where exactly are they located at the zoo?

They live next to the meerkats, in the new entrance area. It is true, their exhibit is easy to miss, I even experienced that over 95% of visitors do not notice there is any animal display in that corner. But I think, the rats do not mind

Yeah, but I do; would have loved to see them... Oh well, then I will look for them the next time.
