Prague Zoo Praha Prague Zoo News 2020

1,1 Amur leopard cats arrived from Olomouc

0,0,1 Garnett's galago was born in December.

 

For the first time in 8 years, Prague Zoo is raising ticket prices. From 1st February, adults will pay 250 CZK (cca 10€) and kids/students will pay 200 CZK (8€).

Zoo also increased the amount of money that will go to conservation projects, previously, it was 3 crowns from every ticket sold, now it will be 5 crowns.

 

And a very fair price I would suggest

 

I'm planning on visiting Prague again this year (now that the Parrot house has opened) and I was wondering if anyone here got an eye on the off-show rarities ? 2 years ago I didn't manage to get off-show, I e-mailed the zoo a month before my visit but that didn't help.
I would really like to see the dorcopsises. And apparently they're not at Prague anymore, but I believe they had two green magpies species, one on and the other off-show, not sure which one is gone, probably the off-show one.

 

Male black and rufous sengi arrived from Rotterdam, female should arrive from Wroclaw in future.

 

0,0,4 Keeled slug-eating snake (Pareas carinatus) hatched - this might potentially be first breeding in European zoos.

Malayan tiger female Wanita was sent to NaturZoo de Mervent. This happened a bit earlier, but I forgot to mention it.

 

5,5 White-faced ibis (Plegadis chihi) arrived from private keeper. According to Zootierliste, Prague is one of 4 zoos in Europe (1st in Central/Eastern Europe) that keeps this species.

 

Funny how things are sometimes...Zoo located 800km further is being "more reachable"

Yeah, Cottbus is one of the cities I always place wrongly...

 

Tasmanian devils in their outdoor paddock for the first time!
At this time, however, zoo is closed for public due to covid-virus (opening of tasmanian exhibition was postponed to the end of may, but mostly depends on situation with virus)

We have a sweat healthy baby girl, it´s mother is Tamara (Indian Elephant).

 

Hello everybody,
Where are the gorals arrived in 2019 ? Behind the scenes ?
I didn't find this information on the forum

 

They are in the former Bighorn Sheep enclosure, which is unmarked on the map and basically next to the Elk enclosure behind the restaurant.

 

Ok Thank you ! I missed this enclosure during my visit (sept 2019).

 

Yeah it is very easy to miss it

 

For those who want to see a tasmanian devils feeding time at Prague (not for all eyes) :
